Oriental and Persian Area Rug Appraisal

Expert Oriental & Persian Rug Appraisals – Know What Your Rug Is Worth

Why a Professional Rug Appraisal Matters

An expert Oriental or Persian rug appraisal isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. Whether you’re protecting your investment or simply curious, knowing the actual market value of your area rug can save you from regret and financial loss. At Oriental Rug Salon, we offer expert online rug appraisals tailored to collectors, homeowners, insurance agents, court systems, estate planners, and interior designers across the United States.

Top Reasons You Need an Oriental Rug Appraisal

Insurance Coverage

Accidents happen. Fires, floods, and theft can strike unexpectedly. A written appraisal establishes the documented replacement value of your rug, ensuring proper insurance protection. Without an official valuation, you may face claim denials or inadequate reimbursements.

Estate Planning or Probate

Rugs often hold significant monetary and sentimental value. During estate distribution or probate, a professional appraisal provides an objective value for legal or tax purposes. It eliminates family disputes and ensures fair asset distribution.

Investment Protection

Oriental and Persian rugs can increase in value over time. Appraisals help you track your rug’s worth and adjust your insurance accordingly. Think of it as a portfolio review for your heirloom.

Selling Your Rug

Selling without a documented appraisal? Risky. A certified appraisal provides third-party validation of your asking price and can become a powerful sales tool. Buyers trust certified values more than a seller’s opinion.

Curiosity and History

Sometimes, it’s not about money. Many clients simply want to know where their rug came from, what story it tells, and what it might be worth. Our appraisals uncover regional origins, knotting styles, motifs, and more.
