Why Does Rug Appraisal Matter
A professional rug appraisal goes beyond just assigning a dollar value—it protects your investment and ensures your rug’s story is documented for generations. Oriental and Persian rugs, especially antique or handmade pieces, often increase in value over time. Without an expert evaluation, you could risk underinsuring, undervaluing, or misidentifying your rug.
At Bijan Rugs, our certified appraisers in San Antonio carefully assess the age, origin, weave quality, and craftsmanship of your rug to provide accurate and reliable valuations. Whether you’re planning to sell, insure, or simply preserve a family heirloom, an appraisal offers the peace of mind that your rug’s worth is properly recognized.
Do you offer on-site appraisals?

Do I need to clean my rug before an appraisal?
It’s not required, but a clean rug makes evaluating details like knot count and color quality easier.
