LONDON: A rare 17th Century Persian carpet fetched a world record £6.2 million at London’s auction house.An anonymous overseas bidder bought the carpet to rapturous applause in the saleroom.
The price eclipsed the previous world best of £2.3m for a silk Isfahan rug, thought to have been made in the early 1600s, in New York in June 2008.
