Appraisals

Rug Appraisals

Know what your rug is worth. We provide written appraisals of handwoven rugs for insurance, estate planning, and charitable donation. They’re done virtually from your photos, so you can be anywhere.

What we evaluate

  • Age and provenance
  • Condition
  • Rarity and uniqueness
  • Material and dye quality
  • Origin and weaving tradition
  • Quality of the weave

How a virtual appraisal works

  1. Send us photos and details of your rug (see the list below).  Email your photos and details to info@thepersianknot.com
  2. We review everything and may ask follow-up questions. 
  3. You receive a written appraisal stating an insurance and/or replacement value. It is marked “Virtual or Remote Appraisal” because it is based on the photos and information you provide.

What to send

  • Clear photos of the full front and the back
  • Close-ups of the corners, fringe, and sides
  • Photos of any damage, stains, or repairs
  • Exact dimensions
  • Anything you know about its history, where it came from, or past repairs

Why get an appraisal?
Insurance, estate planning, and donations each have their own requirements. Read why a professional appraisal matters.
