Upcoming Claremont Auction

[View this email in your browser]( The widely anticipated annual online gallery event running until 31 March 2024, '60 Best-of-Their-Type Rugs Sold in 2023', celebrates the breadth of museum-level and highly-collectible antique rugs that collectors acquired from Claremont Rug Company in Oakland, CA, USA, in 2023. Over 75 percent of the pieces in this digital exhibition date from the first half of the 19th century. These include a Senneh 'Columns' rug, four Mohtashem-style Kashans, a triple-layered medallion Ferahan Sarouk; a cloudband Kazak, a Derbend, and a Surahani Baku–all of unique design; an astonishing small Bakshaish, a Ladik and Melas, both circa 1825, and more. Representing room-sized floral carpets are a Laver Kirman, circa 1800; a singular Tabriz, circa 1825; and a Garden of Paradise Dorasht with staggeringly diverse fauna and flora. Two camel hair Bakshaish–one with a rare split-palmette design and the other a repeating lion pattern–and a 175-year-old Serapi are among the examples of room-sized village carpets sold last year. Claremont president and founder Jan David Winitz, who organised the exhibition, commented: 'This year we were fortune to be able to offer particularly extraordinary examples from a wide range of weaving traditions and our clients' ability to discern this reflects a tremendous maturity.' Mr. Winitz has also created 'The Oriental Rug Market Pyramid,' a 6-tier method for demystifying today's myriad offerings, and 'The Nine-Point Methodology' to support shoppers in determining at which level they wish to become active and how to recognise the extremely rare from the commonly found.
