Preview Bruun Rasmussen rug auction 14 June 2005

Bruun Rasmussen International auction 14 June 2005 at 1 pm includes 146 Oriental rugs and carpets.Visiting the auction I was so lucky to “catch” Henrik Schleppegrell – Bruun Rasmussen’ expert on Oriental rugs and carpets.

We had a pleasant conversation on Oriental rugs in general and about the selection of rugs at the auction particularly. Behind Henrik Schleppegrell you see the auctions most rare carpet – a Safavid carpet ( lot 2158) from the 16th century.
