Professional Rug Appraisal Services in Portland
Rug valuation is not guesswork. It requires real knowledge of fibers, construction, origin, and market demand.
We provide:
-
Certified rug appraisals in Portland for legal and insurance use
-
Rug value assessments for quick insight

Why Rug Appraisals Require Specialized Expertise
Oriental rugs are a unique and specialized art form, and not all appraisers are familiar with them. And not all rug cleaners understand value.
We bridge that gap.
Our team evaluates:
-
Hand-knotted vs. machine-made construction
-
Wool, silk, and natural fiber identification
-
Regional origin and design patterns
-
Age and condition, including prior repairs

Market demand and realistic resale value
This is the difference between a rough guess and a valuation that actually holds up.
