Know exactly what you own

Why a certified appraisal

Origin, age, knot density, materials, dyes, condition, rarity, market demand — every handmade rug is valued by characteristics no photograph or online estimate can measure. A certified appraisal is a documented, physical evaluation of the individual rug in the current market.

• Insurance coverage — the documentation insurers require
• Estate planning and division of assets
• Resale, purchase verification, or authentication before restoration
• Building and documenting a private collection

When to appraise

Without documentation, it is difficult to establish a rug’s value if it is ever damaged, lost, or stolen. An appraisal is also worth updating after major restoration work — and a professional cleaning beforehand allows a more accurate inspection of fibers, colors, and condition.
