What is my rug worth?
One question we are asked almost daily is: what is my rug worth?
In truth, there is hardly a serious answer to that question. A Tabriz measuring 2 m x 3 m from the 19th century, for example, may just as easily be worth 1.000 € as 100.000 €. Much depends on the individual characteristics of the rug (pattern, material, provenance and history), but above all on the prevailing taste of the moment.
Important criteria for the price are:
- Material
- Number of knots per m²
- Size
- Age
- Condition
Today, rugs are usually seen as a purely decorative furnishing element . The number of knots or the material have moved into the background. The decisive criterion is the aesthetics of the rug. Taste and interior styles change constantly, and rug prices vary widely with supply and demand. Within that reality, we do our best to keep our prices fair and transparent.
