Find out what your rug is worth without leaving home. Our specialist team values Persian, Oriental, antique, tribal, and handmade rugs from photographs. Full written assessment within 48 hours. No fees. No obligation.
Our photo-based process is fast, thorough, and costs nothing.
You need three photographs: the full front of the rug (ideally from directly above), the back showing the weave and knot structure, and a close-up of the pile, fringe, or any repairs. Good natural daylight is best — avoid flash where possible.
Note the rug's measurements (length and width, including whether fringe is counted) and include anything you know about its origin, age, or history.
Upload your photos through our online quote form. Include the dimensions, approximate condition notes, and any labels, stamps, or markings on the rug. The more detail you can provide, the more precise your valuation will be.
Our team will respond within 48 business hours with a written valuation covering the rug's likely origin, approximate age, construction quality, condition assessment, and current market value. We will also include a purchase offer if the rug falls within our buying criteria.
We give you a complete picture of your rug's identity and value — not just a price.
Where the rug was made — country, region, and weaving tradition. We identify Persian, Turkish, Caucasian, Central Asian, and other origins from weave structure, design, and materials.
We estimate the rug's approximate age using dye analysis, foundation materials, pile structure, and design dating. We distinguish antique (80+ years), vintage (30–80 years), and modern pieces.
A clear description of pile height, any staining, repairs, fraying, structural damage, and how condition affects current value. We never obscure condition issues in our assessment.
The current realistic value based on what comparable rugs are achieving at specialist auction, through dealers, and in the collector market. We distinguish between retail value, dealer value, and auction estimate.
If you have labels, receipts, auction records, or family history associated with the rug, we factor these in. Documented provenance can significantly affect value.
If the rug is something we wish to purchase, we include a direct buying offer alongside the valuation. You are under no obligation to accept — you can use the valuation for any purpose.
Rug valuation is not simply a matter of age or size. Several factors interact to determine market value, and understanding them helps set realistic expectations before selling.
Our valuation explains each of these factors as they apply to your specific rug.
