Sales Brokerage

Our primary business purpose is to assist our clients with the selection and purchase of the very best handmade oriental and decorative rugs to suit their individual design needs and budget.   Because we do not maintain a large inventory of pre-purchased carpets, we can offer completely unbiased selection assistance from the very best of current inventories of over 150 Oriental rug wholesalers.  Due to our very low overhead and innovative advertising and marketing, we are committed to helping you select and purchase the very best rug(s) to suit your specific needs.  Robert Fritz Oriental Rugs will never try to sell you a rug from some outdated and out of style inventory.  Instead, we rely on the inventory of our select network of manufacturers and importers who, because of their direct volume purchases, have the lowest wholesale prices.  Your purchase price is based on this cost - plus our brokerage/service fee.* No single source has ever offered such a variety of quality handmade rugs in the latest styles at such an unbeatable value. 



Consultation


With over 35 years of experience in all aspects of the handmade rug business, Robert Fritz Oriental Rugs can offer any type of carpet related design assistance, oriental rug identification and valuation, restoration assessment and estimation, purchase advice, as well as many other areas of expert consultation.  For sales, we will gladly schedule an appointment to come to your home for a free no obligation consultation to suggest what styles, designs, colors, and sizes are best suited for your unique home decor, personal preferences, and budget.

 

Cleaning, Repair and Restoration

 

Robert Fritz Oriental Rugs offers the very best in expert cleaning, repair and restoration for all types of new and antique handmade oriental and decorative carpets.  From minor repair of edges, ends, tears, worn areas, etc. to complete restoration of severely worn or damaged antique carpets, all work is done to the highest industry standards.  We have years of experience in oriental rug care and conservation and can make it possible for you to continue using and enjoying your existing rug(s) while preserving their beauty and value.  Typically it is much more affordable to repair or restore your existing rug than to purchase a new or antique replacement.  We will provide free estimates for all restoration work and advise on whether restoration is indeed the best and most cost effective option relative to the value of the rug after the work has been completed.   All restoration services are offered at trade rates and cost (not retail) plus our customary brokerage/service fee.



Appraisals


We offer complete appraisal services for any type of oriental carpet identification and valuation including insurance replacement, equitable distribution, or fair market.  Robert Fritz Oriental Rugs has two appraisers on staff, each certified by the Oriental Rug Retailers of America for over twenty years, more than any other Oriental rug appraisal service in North Carolina.  If requested, we can also provide certification by the International Society of Appraisers.  Robert Fritz has served as a court appointed expert appraiser for many years.  He has also served as an advisor to the Official Identification and Price Guide to Antiques and Collectibles.  With subscriptions to most major domestic and international auction sites, and ongoing business relationships with our extensive network of importers and wholesalers, we are able to monitor current values for all types of new, antique, and collectible carpets and textiles.

Commercial and Custom

With years of experience in project planning, Robert Fritz Oriental Rugs welcomes inquiries and orders from interior designers and architects.  We are able to be involved at any phase of your residential or commercial project from pre-construction design to selecting the very best rug(s) to complete and complement an existing decor.  Any commercial setting can be transformed by adding beautiful handmade carpets that enhance the architecture and character of the business.  Our extensive network of importers ensures nearly limitless selection and availability of styles, designs, colors, and weave types.  If unusual sizes or special colors are needed, any new handmade carpet can be custom made to order for the unique requirements of the design project.  Whether currently in-stock or custom ordered, all handmade rugs are sold based on industry wholesale pricing.
