Monday, July 14, 2008
1:30 –
2:00 pm: Phil Menendian - “Tips for a Proper ORRA Appraisal”
2:00 - 4:00 pm: CRA Exam
4:00 – 5:00 p.m. Re-Certification
Program - For current CRAs (No charge)
Once again, on Monday July 14, 2008 at
Atlanta’s AmericasMart, ORRA will present its Certified Oriental Rug
Appraiser’s Exam. The test will consist of two parts; the first half
is written and the second half is rug identification. No amount of last
minute cramming can prepare a candidate for this exam. The knowledge
and expertise must come from years of learning and hands on experience.
In an effort to help our members, ORRA offers educational seminars; a
“Walk the Market” with Phil Menendian (scheduled for Sunday July 13 at 3
pm); and a list of recommended reading. All current CRA’s have learned
the hard way. There are no shortcuts!
The only way to know if you can pass is
to take the exam! Pass or fail, you will benefit from taking it. This
opportunity should not be missed!
The exam is difficult but fair. You are
tested on your technical and historical knowledge on hand knotted rugs.
You are then asked to properly identify forty rugs that one might
encounter in a typical appraisal. We include antique, semi-antique and
new rugs, plus a ringer or two just to keep you on your toes. The tests
are graded and if one fails, areas to study are suggested. We hope to
see you in July!
To Pre-Register: Fill out the form below and
mail or fax it back to ORRA Headquarters.
