Value of old Persian rugs
Old Persian rug value depends on region, size, age, weave, wool, dyes, condition, repairs, design, provenance, and demand. A room-size Kerman, Heriz, Tabriz, Kashan, or Sarouk should not be valued by age alone.

The first answer is whether the rug can be identified by region or type, then whether its size, condition, foundation, color, design, and repairs support the market comparison.
Auction records are market evidence, not a final appraisal. Condition, authenticity, provenance, size, completeness, repairs, logistics, and demand can materially change value.
Quick value checklist
- Photograph the full rug flat, both ends, both sides, corners, fringe, back, pile, repairs, stains, holes, and label if present.
- Measure length and width without fringe, and note whether dimensions are exact or approximate.
- Show close-ups of weave, knots, foundation, colors, wear, low pile, moth damage, and repairs.
- Include provenance, purchase receipts, cleaning records, and prior appraisals.
Key value drivers
- Region or type, room-size scale, strong design, good wool, natural-looking dyes, and condition can help value.
- Wear, stains, odors, low pile, moth damage, shortened ends, and heavy repairs can reduce value.
- Large rugs also depend on decorative demand and local handling or shipping costs.
