In-home Shopping

Shop for rare antique carpets whether you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, across the U.S. or virtually anywhere in the world.

Visualizing how your potential carpet choices will look in your home has never been easier with our numerous presentation tools. Claremont Rug Company offers a selection of convenient shopping options even if you do not live in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are local to you – regardless of where you reside.

Assisting the Purchasing Process

Considering the tremendous impact that well-chosen antique Oriental rugs have on a room, many clients choose one of our two trouble-free methods of seeing rugs in situ before coming to a decision.

See Rugs on Approval Before Purchasing

Over our four decades of business, we have made shipping on approval efficient and economical. No matter what the size, all rugs arrive folded in sturdy boxes. During the California Shelter In-Place period, we are offering our first in over three decades 20% incentive offer and free shipping event.

    • We ship the carpets you are interested in via Federal Express.
    • You can experience them in your room for 2-3 days and speak with us by phone if you wish. (Some clients email images of the carpets in their rooms for us to see.)
    • Or we can arrange for a local logistics firm to lay out the carpets in your room, then pack up and ship back any you don’t keep.
    • We charge you the shipping fees only for any carpets you don’t keep at the deep 60%  discount our contract with FedEx gets us.
    • We ship you the underpadding for the carpet(s) you choose.

    In-Home Presentations

    We offer a unique home presentation service for multiple-carpet projects anywhere in USA for room-size, oversize or collectible rugs. Enjoy the salon experience in your own home, as one of our senior carpet consultants and support staff show you numerous pre-selected rugs for each space you wish to furnish. This allows you to compare sizes, color balances, and different styles that help you to determine the very best choice for each space.
