Truly rare rugs and carpets represent such a small universe and emerge so infrequently on the international market that it should be no surprise to see dramatic price escalation continuing.


The statistical evidence suggests that rare antique rugs can generate 8 – 12% returns per annum over the long term. Price gains of 5 – 8% per annum can be expected for quality antique rugs that are 100 years old or more.

Although there has historically been a demand for antique carpets that exceeds supply, causing substantial increases in value, there is no guarantee that this will be the case in the future. Demand for antique carpets of a particular area or type may be affected by regional or world trends and tastes.
