How to Determine the Value of Persian Rugs : Carpet & Rugs
[Music]
hi my name is Lauren Jacobson from
Lauren Jacobsen design and today I want
to talk to you about the value of a
Persian rug
what denotes the cost and the value of
these rugs these two rugs are from Agha
John rugs they're both considered
Persian rugs but let's talk about the
history of that a little bit Persia was
invaded by the Mongol Empire and as that
moved down through subcontinent of Asia
a lot of the artisans then moved on into
different regions so now you've got rugs
being made in Turkey Afghanistan
Pakistan India Egypt and Nepal so rugs
are coming from a lot of different areas
and a lot of different regions some of
the big qualities that are going to
denote the value of a rug are things
like the condition of the rug the
craftsmanship the materials it was made
with so what kinds of wools
the age is extremely important and also
the older the rug is and the better
condition it's in then the more value
it's going to have so you have rugs
ranging anywhere from thousands of
dollars up to millions of dollars so
rugs the more antique level rugs and
when I say antique that means it's going
to be eighty to a hundred and eighty
years old rugs that were made back in
the mid and late 1800s those are
probably your most valuable so the
better condition they're in and the
older they are that's going to drive the
price for more tips and trends follow me
