Create Perfect Storm in the market for rare carpets

Oakland, California – Internationally recognized antique rug expert Jan David Winitz said today that "perfect storm" of conditions exists in the market for the best antique oriental rugs.

"Frankly, the increasing shortage large carpet of the 19th century, "he said," combined with our clientele's escalating knowledge and the ability to see and buy one in the world-level carpets investment in our web site has created a unique confluence of factors during my nearly 30 years in business. "

Winitz, said his clients are increasingly more willing to invest in the "collection of museum-level carpets that are rare works of art and still in excellent condition that can be used in the owner residences. "

Winitz is the head of an investment group that has employed an international team of expert buyers for the past 27 years. Continuously total purchase private collections and fine properties to feed the voracious appetite of customers in its two galleries and met the extensive inventory, described by the Financial Times London "art for the floor."

He says: "Potential customers have been attracted to large antique carpets in the past three decades, often come to him with a keen eye and a severe famine in drought conditions in the international market. "

He added: "Many customers are still buying spectacular pieces, more than they could display in their homes, and we ask that they keep putting them in museums or private. Often revolve carpets customers during periods of time in one or more of their residences. "

The author of "Guide to buying an Oriental rug" Winitz predicts that the bull market conditions in the market for rare carpets will continue. "Our clients soon discover that the quality of the carpets that we offer is rarely found in other places, and when occasionally appear at auction, often sold at prices exceeding the market value established. Seeing this, their confidence that the rarity and value of their collections continue to increase substantially grows.

"The 100-200 year old carpets in our collection can not be duplicated, such as handmade rugs, silk rugs, Persian rugs, Oriental rugs, wool carpets , etc were created at the time the artistic sensibility of the weavers and their workforce were without equal, "he said." In that sense, collectors view their pieces carpet in the way a collector of paintings of views of a Monet or Van Gogh. "

"In addition, the market for carpets this quality does not fluctuate depending on external economic conditions, "he said." The intrinsic value of this art and is separated from its "quality one of a kind "as other types of investments."

"There seems to have been a significant amount of investment money on the sidelines, Winitz said. "The collection, with its extensive inventory of the finest carpets of the 19th century, has enabled our clients to diversify as well as enjoy their investments. "He added that antique rugs have always been more attractive in times of economic uncertainty and inflation.
