What you can do with this material, and what it is not.
This is not appraisal advice
Everything here is general editorial information. Rug valuation depends on condition, attribution and provenance that can only be assessed with the object present. Nothing on this site constitutes a valuation, an authentication, or a recommendation to buy or sell a particular rug. Before a significant purchase, commission an independent appraiser with no interest in the sale.
Care instructions
Cleaning and repair guidance is written for typical cases. Rugs vary — an untested dye or a weakened foundation can turn a routine method into permanent damage. Test on an inconspicuous area, and when a rug is valuable or unfamiliar, use a professional.
Accuracy
We research carefully and cite sources, but we do not warrant that every statement is correct or current. Prices in particular date quickly. If you find an error, please tell us.
