B. Adding Rugs to Wish Lists

From the Thumbnail Page: While browsing rugs in our gallery, use the "+" symbol located in the lower left of the thumbnail image of a rug you want to save. A screen will appear that allows you to add the rug of interest to a particular wish list you have created. Simply check the box for the wish list you want the rug to reside on.

From the Single-Rug Page: Alternatively, if you click a thumbnail to see the whole rug image, you can add the rug to a Wish list also by using the dedicated Wish list button at the bottom right of the screen. (It is this single rug page that allows you to also manage, add notes and ratings as well as share with a friend as described below.)

C. Managing Wish lists

It is also possible to create notes and save a "five-star" rating from the whole rug screen at the bottom of the column on the right.

 Jan David Winitz

Claremont President Jan David Winitz

Jan David Winitz, President and founder Claremont Rug Company in Oakland, CA, has built a global reputation among carpet collectors and connoisseurs since he founded the company—at age 25—in 1980. Born into a New York family of art collectors and scientists, “Winitz inherited two things from his grandmother: a collection of great rugs and a love of art.” (Financial Times). His stated vision was, “to introduce fine families to antique carpets possessing equal or greater artistic magnitude to works of art usually displayed on the wall.” Claremont Rug Company continues to be a leading source of antique art-level Oriental carpets in the world. The author of “The Guide to Purchasing an Oriental Rug”, Winitz has a global clientele for whom antique rugs are a great passion.
