Persian Rugs Appraisal
Persian rugs are so beautiful. If you have one, whether you have inherited one or have recently bought one, you may wonder about its history, its value or maybe you would just like to know a little more about it. There is so much to learn. The patterns on some Persian rugs have meanings and some even tell stories. Certain symbols and patterns may tell you the specific area in which your rug was made. A unique pattern on a Persian rug could make it extremely valuable.
Getting an appraisal of your rug can tell you more about it but more importantly knowing its value can help you to protect yourself against financial loss should your rug be damaged lost or stolen. An appraisal is also required for insurance purposes, if you are going to entrust it to a removal or shipping company, and for estate planning purposes. Perhaps you are considering donating the rug to a charity and claiming its value as a charitable contribution on your tax return. Our Persian rug appraisal service can give an accurate estimate of your rug’s condition and value. Many factors such as age, size, condition, colours of yarns used, pattern, design, shape and style, determine a particular rug’s value.

Persian Rugs Cleaning
Professional cleaning can make an amazing difference to your Persian Rug, returning its rich colour, natural softness and sheen. Not only that but proper professional cleaning also makes your rug last longer. Soil, dust and dirt have sharp edges and can tear, rub and generally damage your rug by weakening the knots and backing.
Profession cleaning prevents that damage. Rugs in high foot traffic areas, for example, in family rooms or entry halls should be professionally cleaned regularly, we recommend that such rugs be cleaned every one to three years depending on exactly how much foot fall your rug has to contend with.
We recommend that rooms in less well trod rooms for example bedrooms or formal dining rooms, should be cleaned at least every five to seven years.
