Los Angeles has one of the densest concentrations of fine Persian rugs in the country, driven by the largest Iranian-American community in the United States. A great many of these pieces — particularly pre-Revolution Tabriz, Kashan, Qom, and Isfahan rugs — were brought to LA between 1979 and the early 1990s, and are now antique-grade. Most are significantly under-insured today because the original owner’s policy still reflects the cost basis from a generation ago, not the current retail-replacement value.
We work regularly with LA interior designers staging high-value homes (where a current appraisal becomes part of the property file), estate attorneys managing celebrity and entertainment-industry estates, and individual collectors in the Persian community who need scheduled appraisals for insurance. Our reports are formatted to meet documentation requirements commonly requested by carriers and probate courts; acceptance is subject to individual requirements.
The most common gap we see is insurance under-coverage. A rug purchased two or three decades ago at fair market is now often worth 3–6× its original price at retail-replacement — the figure your insurer actually needs. A current RUG Index appraisal corrects the schedule before a loss event. Formatted to meet documentation requirements commonly requested by U.S. insurance carriers. Acceptance is subject to individual carrier requirements and policy terms.
For collections inherited or being settled in California, our Legal/Estate report ($195) is a RICA Certified Appraisal formatted for potential use in probate proceedings and IRS filings; admissibility and acceptance are determined solely by the court or agency. The signed PDF is delivered remotely.
Our Digital and Certified appraisals are 100% remote. Submit photos and rug details online; we handle the rest.
No travel fee, no in-person required. Same prices as anywhere else in the U.S.
