Rug Appraisals
When it comes to assessing your rug’s value, no one is more qualified than Atiyeh Bros. We offer two types of rug appraisals, depending upon your needs:
Certified Rug Appraisals
For customers who need a formal, written appraisal for insurance, estate or other similar legal purposes, we offer certified rug appraisals. We have Certified Rug Appraisers on staff who graduated from the Certification Specialist program administered by the Oriental Rug Retailers of America (ORRA). In plant appraisals are offered for a fee of $150 for the first rug and $50 for each additional rug. Off sight appraisals are offered for a fee of $250 for the first rug and $75 for each additional rug.
Value Assessments
Relying on our experience, training and certifications, we can offer a verbal assessment of your rug. This includes it’s value, origin and history, age, structure (hand-made or machine-loomed), design and quality. Our technicians are Certified Rug Specialists, having completed a rigorous rug-industry training and certification program through the Association of Rug Care Specialists (ARCS). This is done routinely as part of our area rug cleaning process, or when a customer can visit and/or supply a photo of their rug. Value assessments are offered for a fee of $25.00 per rug.
