Kasra Rugs Answers Your Top Questions About Rug Appraisals
I’m Kasra Rahimi, owner and operator of Kasra Rugs. With over 30 years of experience appraising rugs, I often get questions from clients in the Greater Toronto Area and across Canada about rug appraisals. Below, I’ve put together a Q&A that explains the process and why professional appraisals are important for Persian rugs, antique rugs, and vintage rugs.
What is a rug appraisal?
A rug appraisal is a professional assessment of a rug’s value for insurance and replacement purposes. This includes an evaluation of the rug’s age, origin, materials, craftsmanship, and condition. At Kasra Rugs, we provide detailed written documentation that outlines these factors and establishes a fair replacement value.
Why should I get my rug appraised?
We typically only recommend rug appraisals for insurance purposes. An appraisal ensures your valuable Persian rugs, antique rugs, and vintage rugs are properly insured in case of loss, theft, or damage. An appraisal helps protect your family heirlooms by providing documented proof of their value and authenticity.
Who performs the appraisal?
At Kasra Rugs, we have an in-house appraiser with decades of expertise. With over 30 years of experience appraising rugs, I personally oversee the process to ensure accuracy, professionalism, and a thorough understanding of each rug’s unique qualities.
What types of rugs can be appraised?
