Valuation
Appraise & identify your rug
What is your carpet worth, where does it come from, how old is it? Our specialists give you well-founded answers.
We appraise and identify any Persian or oriental rug. We determine origin, age, material and knot density and classify your carpet expertly — either online from your photos or in person at our showroom.
What we determine
Origin & type
Region, knotting culture and carpet type.
Age & condition
Classification from antique to new, including state of preservation.
Value
A market-appropriate estimate for sale or insurance.
We provide fast, transparent and professional appraisals. Our clients include insurers, public authorities, private individuals and legal entities. We determine the Fair Market Value (FMV) — the fair price you would achieve selling today. We deliberately avoid subjective “collector” prices.
