“Our clients find that fine antique carpets substantially accentuate the beauty of their architecture and furnishings, and add great warmth and livability to large living spaces. This is art on such a grand scale that literally envelops the viewer.”
Anecdotally, Winitz reports that clients are “stockpiling” rare rugs. In a recent lecture, he said, “They are an excellent depository of wealth. Historically, they always been used as a buffer against the erosion of wealth in uncertain economic times.”
The catalog, says Winitz, is eagerly anticipated by his clients, adding that it is shipped by overnight courier to many of his collector-level connoisseurs. “From our last catalog, we placed seven rugs within 48 hours after our private clients received it,” he said.
