RugRag.com was created in 2007 by a group of industry insiders in an effort to provide accurate information about hand made Oriental Rugs. It's all too often that you find incorrect or misleading information all across the Internet from eBay auctions to online stores to classifieds and even news sources.
We see ourselves as a newsletter (a "rag" or blog) on all aspects of the industry as well as an archive of information on and about Oriental Rugs.
Rug Rag now offers a free verification service to evaluate Oriental Rugs being sold Online. Our expert staff has decades of experience in both formal and virtual showrooms. Our goal is to provide a greater level of transparency in what has traditionally been considered a "buyer beware" market. We want the public to know that when they have seen a Rug Rag Verification, they can have the peace of mind knowing that specific item has been reviewed and evaluated by an independent, third party of professional rug experts. While it is best to have a rug viewed in person by a professional, we understand this is a difficult proposition. The idea is simple: If you cannot make an informed Oriental Rug purchase online, you cannot purchase an Oriental Rug online. We aim to verify as much information as possible on behalf of consumers for any given rug before ultimately clicking the "buy it now." The need for the public to have a better idea of what it is that will arrive at their door is of utmost importance!
We hope we succeed in educating consumers about all aspects of Oriental Rugs, leading to higher appreciation and more informed purchasing decisions through our online Oriental Rug assessment, verifications and content.
Enjoy!
