Textiles are fragile. Therefore knowledge is all the more important.
Antique textiles — carpets, quilts, embroidery, lace — are a category where condition is everything. Moths, light, and moisture are the enemies. But a well-preserved piece can be very valuable.
AntiqBot analyses your textile based on photos: knotting technique, pattern, material indicators, and style period. The system provides an initial identification and value indication.
With carpets, value lies in the knots. Hand-knotted vs. mechanical, density, material — every detail counts.

Questions about textiles.
Does AntiqBot recognise Persian carpets?
Yes. AntiqBot recognises Persian, Turkish, Caucasian, and other Oriental carpet traditions based on pattern and knotting technique.
Is a worn carpet worth anything?
That depends on origin and rarity. A worn but rare antique carpet can still be valuable.
