More about rug valuation

What is a rug Valuation based on?

Age & History

Older handmade rugs with natural dyes, exceptional craftsmanship, and historical significance are often the most valuable. Rare tribal rugs can be especially prized due to their scarcity.

Knot  Density

The higher the knot count per square inch (KPSI), the finer the craftsmanship, durability, and value. A greater knot density usually means more time was invested in creating the rug.

Weaving Quality

Handmade rugs display subtle variations that reflect authentic craftsmanship, while machine-made rugs have perfectly uniform weaving throughout.

Fibre Quality

Premium natural fibres such as new wool and silk significantly increase a rug's value. Fibre quality depends on breed, climate, diet, and traditional production methods.

Materials & Dyes

We assess whether natural or synthetic dyes were used, as well as the condition of the colours. Natural vegetable dyes are highly desirable and add authenticity.

Craftsmanship

Traditional handmade rugs are created using centuries-old weaving techniques. With proper care, these rugs can last for generations and often become family heirlooms.

Rug Value Calculator UK

How Much Is My Rug Worth?

If you have an old Persian, Oriental, handmade or inherited rug at home, you may be wondering how much it is worth. Rug value can vary widely depending on the rug’s age, origin, material, knot density, condition, design, size, provenance and current market demand.

This advanced rug value calculator has been created as a helpful first guide for UK rug owners. It uses important valuation factors such as rug size, construction, material, origin, approximate age, knots per inch, condition, repairs and paperwork to provide an estimated decorative resale range.

Please note that this tool is designed to give an online estimate only. It should not be treated as a formal valuation, insurance certificate, probate valuation or guaranteed resale price. For accurate documentation, especially for Persian, Oriental, antique, silk or high-value rugs, a professional rug valuation is recommended.

 

Estimate Your rug’s value

Enter as much detail as you can. The more accurately you describe your rug, the more reliable your estimate range will be.

Important: This is an online estimate only. It is not a formal valuation, insurance certificate, probate valuation or guaranteed sale price. Rugs should be inspected professionally for formal valuation purposes.

Resale value is usually lower than retail or insurance replacement value.

Count knots across 1 inch on the back of the rug.

KPSI = horizontal knots × vertical knots.
