Claremont Rug Company founder\/president Jan David Winitz says that more than half his clients are choosing to acquire antique Oriental rugs to display as wall art. The interest in using rugs on walls in addition to as floor pieces has increased markedly in the past several years. “Art collectors are increasingly coming to me after having studied our website with requests that involve high collectible and connoisseur level pieces to serve as wall art. “They tell me that, compared to other art and antiques that they collect, Oriental rugs are undervalued both as art and as investments.” He attributes recognition to the education-oriented information on the Claremont website. “What they deeply appreciate is our ‘Oriental Rug Pyramid,’ which divides carpets into six tiers, with Level 1 to Level 6. It is instructional and a graphic depiction, allowing them to make informed decisions.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
