The World’s Most Expensive Rugs Goes on Sale

The Telegraph recently reported that the world’s most expensive rug is expected to be sold for £14.5 million when it goes under the hammer at Sothebys later this month.
Says the Telegraph, “Commissioned by the Maharaja of Baroda in India in the 18th century, the Pearl Carpet was created using an estimated two million natural seed pearls farmed from the Arabian Gulf.

“Embossed with gold set diamonds, rubies and emeralds in their hundreds, the centre piece of the exquisite rug are three large round rosettes put together using table cut diamonds set in silvered gold.”

But unless you’ve recently robbed a bank,

Worth a pretty penny or two we think, but unless you’ve recently robbed a bank, won the lottery, or come into inheritance if you haven’t got the cash to splash we suggest the more manageable but equally sumptuous Allure glittering shaggy rug.

Available in a range of luxurious colours this rug is low maintenance, shed free and has a soft fine pile for a credit-crunch busting £165.99.

The 1.7 x 2.3m rug is so soft you’ll want to take your socks off for a shuffle!
