Sell to Us · Rugs & Weavings
Sell the rug for what the weaver put into it.
Hand-knotted rugs are the most misvalued objects in California estates: priced by liquidators as used flooring when knot density, natural dyes, and origin can make a single rug worth more than the room’s furniture. The difference between machine-made and hand-knotted takes one flipped corner to see, and the difference in value can be a hundredfold.

We evaluate rugs at your home: backs read, dyes assessed, condition honestly weighed, and Navajo and tribal weavings given the separate expertise they demand. The market is real and worldwide, and we price into it directly.
Weavings we evaluate
Persian city and village rugs
Kashan, Tabriz, Heriz, and the workshop and village traditions, room size to scatter.
Caucasian and tribal
Kazak, Shirvan, and nomadic weavings, where age and dye decide everything.
Navajo weavings
Regional styles, transitional blankets, and the trading post era, handled knowledgeably.
Runners and small pieces
Hall runners, bagfaces, and saddle pieces: small formats with serious collectors.
Worn and damaged rugs
Age-appropriate wear is expected: the right rug carries value even tired.
Flip a corner before anyone names a price
The back of a rug tells the truth: hand-knotted backs mirror the pattern knot by knot, fringes grow from the structure rather than being sewn on, and irregularities whisper handwork. Photograph the back’s corner alongside the front and we can tell you within hours whether a real evaluation is warranted. Glendale to Newport, the rugs of this region’s households deserve to be read before they are rolled.
A Recent Find
A 1940s Levi’s Type 1 jacket, sold to us by a former dealer who knew exactly what he had. We paid $12,000 in cash, the same day.

Common questions
The rug has wear and a faded side. Does it still have value?
Often, yes: honest wear on a good rug reduces price without erasing it, and some collectors prefer untouched condition to restoration. Sun fade matters more, and we will be straight about it.
How do you value Navajo weavings differently?
By their own market: regional style, period, dye, and condition, with trading post provenance adding real premiums. They are American art, and we price them as such.
Should we have the rug cleaned before you look?
No: cleaning risks dye runs and tells us nothing we cannot see through honest dust. Original condition first, always; cleaning decisions come after valuation.
