FOR HISTORIC
CARPET
Nv international News Service

by international News Service
LONDON, July "a. The highest
price ever paid for a carpet was
given here recently for the EN-
peror's Carpet" made for Persian
Shah and eventually presented by
Peter the Great to Leopold Of
Austria. which brought sum in
excess Of $1OO,O00 at Christie's.
The highest price previously paid
Tor such = piece was during the
recent Gary sale in New York,
when Sir Joseph Duveen purchased
rare Ispahan garden carpet
Bidding for the carpet was
spirited, and the opening bid was
$4,000. Ii was finally bought by
an unidentified collector, believed
to be an American, who made the
purchase on behalf of the interna-
tionaI Art Galleries.
The carpet was bought by q
syndicate from the House of Haps-
burg In 1895, and taken to Paris
and New York. It was inspected
by many wealthy collectors In the
latter city. but the price asked APP
parently was too high, as no sale
could be effected.
The carpet is Teputed to be one
Of the finest kind in existence. but
the price paid by the anonymous
buyer has caused considerable sur
prise IN art circles here, as 1t was
more than it was expected the piece
would bring.
