Verbal Appraisal
A verbal appraisal is useful for anyone who is curious about a rug’s origins, history and value. Whether it’s for purposes of selling your rug or just to satisfy your own curiosity and learn about a family heirloom, many people find this type of appraisal very useful. While it is always useful to see a rug in person, if you are far away or unable to bring your rug in, you can send us pictures and we will be happy to do this type of appraisal over phone or email.
Written Appraisal
This option comes complete with details of your rug’s retail value, construction, origins and includes high quality pictures of your rug and is signed with an official raised seal. A written appraisal is highly recommended when dealing with insurance cases such as water damage, rug theft, and lost value. If your insurer has any questions about your claim, we are always available to talk with them. Dr. Kay is also able to come do appraisals in the comfort of your own home.
