Lynne Whiteside: wowza! this is very appealing to me the sheer grandness makes me want to dance in this space.

Tuesday, June 18, 2013 at 8:22am

Todd Protzman Davis: WoW!

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 12:04pm
Gordon Beck: This rug is gorgeous. However, $33 million, hmmm.

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 12:04pm
Gordon Beck: Provenance?

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 12:04pm
Uta Winkler: Very WOW !!!

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 12:34pm
Todd Protzman Davis: Yes, I’d like to know to story behind this.

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 12:38pm
Rita Watnick: me too

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 12:58pm
Silvina Leone: A beauty but… What is the story behind it??

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 1:26pm
Kathleen Mullaney: stunning

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 1:29pm
Silvina Leone: This is what I found so far: “One anonymous person spent over $33 million on a Persian rug sold at the Corcoran Gallery of Art’s carpet and rug auction held in New York City this week. The rug was estimated to sell for between $5 and $7 million, according to Sotheby’s. The Clark Sickle-Leaf Carpet, which had been exhibited at the Corcoran several times between 1948 and 2008, was purchased by an anonymous bidder for $33,765,000 after the buyer’s premium. This is the most money anyone has ever spent on a carpet at an auction, according to the Associated Press. The previous record price was $9.6 million, which all of the sudden feels totally reasonable.”

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 1:48pm
Todd Protzman Davis: Here’s the Post’s take on it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/museums/corcorans-clark-sickle-leaf-carpet-breaks-world-record-at-sothebys-auction/2013/06/05/e5e38bbe-cdee-11e2-8f6b-67f40e176f03_story.html?noredirect=on

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 1:55pm
Leandro Salerno: ok ! A Persian rug is always a Persian rug. I like the crafts from western asian and middle eastern. It could be byzantine! It’s beautiful !

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 1:58pm
Todd Protzman Davis: I just had to look up a piece I wrote about Edith Rockefeller McCormick; who purchased a rug in 1931 that once belonged to Peter the Great. She paid $165,000 for it, and adjusted for inflation that would be $2,457,000 today. That doesn’t even come close to this.

Wednesday, June 5, 2013 at 2:13pm

Mary Green: Wow, it is gorgeous.

Monday, June 3, 2013 at 10:25am
Jean Allred: Do you think the buyers name will be made public?

Monday, June 3, 2013 at 11:20am
Robin Lechner: A magnificent piece! Would love to know the winning bid.
