and Persian area rug costs
Persian rugs, oriental rugs and area rugs and more. We have earned the
reputation as being the best resource for area rug information.
Let your eyes and your pocketbook be your guide! The origin, design, wool
quality and rug knot-count are the determining factors in the cost of new
handmade Oriental Rugs. For example, an 8x10 Indo Bijar with approximately 100
knots per inch may be purchased for as low as $700 whereas an Indo Bijar with
180 knots per square inch may be bought for $1,500. An 8x10 Fine Persian Bijar
with over 200 knots per square inch may cost as much as $2500 or $3000. When
shopping, noting the different qualities will help you understand why some rugs
are more costly than others.
Semi-Antique and Antique Rugs that are in good condition will be the most
expensive rugs to purchase depending on its age, condition, design and look. For
example, a Modern Persian Heriz produced after 1950 in a 9' x 12' size sells
from $1,000 to $5,000 with an average price around $2,000; whereas a 120 year
old Antique Herez (Serapi) may cost between $25,000 and $40,000. A modern Heriz
with vegetable dyes in a 9' x 12' size will sell for $4,000-$5,000.
Modern Persian Rugs are very well priced compared to the 1980's. Once the trade
barriers with Iran were open several years ago, the prices on some Persian Rugs
plummeted. It's not uncommon to find modern 10' x 13' Persian Rugs for $1,000.
Today, unlike 10 years ago, it is not uncommon to pay more for a rug woven in
Pakistan, India or Nepal then for a Modern Persian Rug.
