ORRA Certified Appraisers
For over 100 years, our family has been involved in the Oriental rug business. Eways Rugs are the only ORRA Certified Appraisers in Virginia. Frank Eways, Sr. wrote and helped develop the exam that certifies all ORRA rug appraisers in the country. Frank Eways, Jr. is a Member of the Board of Trustees of the Oriental Rug Retailer’s Association.
The Oriental Rug Retailer’s Association (ORRA) was formed in 1969 to help bring high standards and ethical practices to the business of selling fine hand-knotted and woven rugs. Over the years, ORRA has become known throughout the country as the organization to depend upon for reliable rug information. The organization has served its members for decades providing information and support for retailing fine carpets. ORRA developed the Certified Rug Appraiser program in 1979. It is an exhaustive examination that certifies an individual to be an appraiser of oriental rugs. CRA’s are accepted as experts by the banking and insurance industries across the US and Canada.
