First off, oriental rugs should not be purchased for investment purposes. Buy what you like and treasure what you have. A well-cared for rug may last up to a century. Anyway, the following factors are used by an oriental rug appraiser: 1.value cycles of the present day market (supply & demand) 2. authenticity and most importantly, 3. the quality of craftsmanship or lack of it.

∙ 13y agoThat is a very good question... the value will fluctuate based on the demand since colors and designs come in and out of fashion. Any rug that is new will most likely not be worth much once you take it out of the store (just like a new car or refrigerator) but as a general rule the older pieces (those that are from the turn of the 20th century and earlier) already have some sort of value in them. As a general rule the older and better pieces do very well over time. The Wall Street Journal published an article recently about investing in antique rugs.
