The rug exchange plan
Unlike most objects, a handmade rug never truly loses its value — even one that has spent years underfoot still carries the material, craftsmanship and story that keep it worth something. The Arsin rug exchange plan is built on that belief: our in-house specialists appraise your existing rug at a fair, high rate, and that value becomes credit toward a new rug from Arsin.
It extends the same commitment that drives Arsin to repatriate and revive old Persian rugs and kilims — your old rug can enter that same cycle of revival.
The process
The exchange plan in three steps
Send photos, or visit us

Appraisal
Arsin's in-house specialists assess the rug's material, weave and condition, and appraise it at a fair, high rate.
Credit applied
The appraised value is applied as credit toward your new rug from the Arsin gallery.
What qualifies
Which rugs are eligible?
Handmade rugs of any origin are accepted into the Arsin exchange plan. Each rug's condition — from its fiber to its wear — is assessed by our specialists to determine its true value. Machine-made rugs are not eligible.
