Question 2

How much does a rug appraisal cost?

Accepted Answer

Rug appraisal costs depend on the number of rugs being appraised and the complexity of the assessment. Single-rug appraisals are straightforward. Multi-rug collections or estate appraisals involving dozens of pieces require more time. Baluchi Rug Gallery provides a cost estimate before any work begins. Call (480) 219-8095 for details.

Question 3

Do I need a rug appraisal for insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you own handmade rugs valued at $5,000 or more. Without a written appraisal, most homeowner's insurance policies cover rugs only as generic furnishings at depreciated replacement value — which could mean receiving a fraction of your rug's actual worth in the event of damage, theft, or loss. A professional appraisal allows your insurance company to schedule each rug as a specific item at its appraised replacement value.

Question 4

How often should I get my rugs reappraised?

Accepted Answer

Every 5-7 years, or whenever there is a significant change in the rug market, your rug's condition, or your insurance needs. Handmade rug values fluctuate based on market demand, rarity, and condition. An appraisal from 10 years ago may significantly undervalue a rug that has appreciated — leaving you underinsured.

Question 5

Can you appraise Persian rugs and Oriental rugs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Baluchi Rug Gallery appraises all types of handmade rugs including Persian (Tabriz, Isfahan, Heriz, Kashan, Nain, Qum), Oriental (Turkish, Afghan, Caucasian, Indian, Chinese, Pakistani), silk rugs, antique and vintage pieces, tribal and village rugs, Navajo and Native American textiles, Kilim flat-weaves, and modern handmade rugs. Our team has 30+ years of experience with every rug type and origin.

Question 6

Do I need a rug appraisal for an estate or divorce?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For estate planning, probate, estate distribution, and divorce proceedings, a professional written appraisal establishes the fair market value of each rug — which is necessary for equitable distribution and tax purposes. Baluchi Rug Gallery provides appraisals that are detailed, documented, and defensible in legal and tax contexts.
