"Rather surprisingly, top price on the
day, € 79,200 ($91,100, including 20%
buyer's premium), was paid in the room by a
European dealer (almost certainly on behalf of a
private client) for a very bold 17th century
Karapinar medallion rug, despite the fact that it
had ample amounts of very high quality
restoration. This striking rug is somewhat
reminiscent of the famous Cantoni Karapinar in
the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (HALI 29, p.50)."
