Appraisals

Expert & Reliable Oriental & Antique Rug Appraisals

Rugs are more than just their size and price. Your rugs have a lot of history that most people outside of the antique oriental rug community don't know much about. A professional rug appraisal can help you find out more about your rug and figure out how much it's worth if you need to make an insurance claim or want to sell it.

Rug appraisal is a very specialized job that takes years of training and experience on the job. In addition to damage, the appraiser from Superior Rug Cleaning looks at the rug's design, sheen, size, country of origin, and any repairs that have already been done. Alex Shumskiy, our on-site appraiser, is well respected in the Springfield, MA community for his knowledge and appreciation for antique rugs from all over the world.

The Reason Why Oriental Rugs are Highly Valued

It may take a rug maker year, or even decades, to complete a single rug. It takes a great deal of skill and dedication to hand weave the luxurious wool and silk used in Oriental and Persian rugs. It takes significantly more time to weave with finer yarns like silk and cotton than with coarser yarns like wool because of the complexity of the patterns required. This is why rugs crafted from finer yarns than wool alone tend to be more expensive. The high cost, however, is justified. These rugs have a lifespan of 50–250 years with proper maintenance.
