Antique Rug Appraisal Near You: Knots, Fringe, Repairs, Stains, Materials and Origin Clues

Prepare antique rug appraisal photos with full-room views, back details, knots, fringe, repairs, stains, dimensions, materials, origin clues, and provenance.

Antique rug appraisal reference with full views, back details, knots, fringe, repairs, stains, dimensions, materials, origin clues, and provenance. Reference image; item-specific appraisal depends on submitted photos and documentation.

Photograph both sides

Show the entire rug from above, then photograph the back, corners, fringe, edges, pile wear, stains, holes, repairs, and color changes. The back often reveals knot structure and repair quality.

Include a tape measure or written dimensions. Room-light photos help, but add close-ups in even natural light.

Condition drives the conversation

Wear, low pile, dry rot, moth damage, reduced ends, overcasting, reweaving, and heavy cleaning can change value materially. Do not crop out flaws.

If the rug has old labels, receipts, family notes, or prior cleaning records, keep those with the photo set.

Find the right rug specialist

Rugs are specialized. Ask whether the appraiser handles Persian, Turkish, Caucasian, Navajo, Chinese, kilim, or other textile categories, and whether they provide insurance replacement or fair market value.

For high-value rugs, a local inspection may be needed to verify weave, dyes, materials, repairs, and handle.
