carpet auction::The rug, known as the pearl carpet of baroda, was created using an estimated two million natural seed pearls.
It is decorated with hundreds of precious stones, including diamonds, sapphires, rubies and emeralds.
Later, it was taken by a family member to monaco.
The tiny natural pearls, known as basra, were harvested from the waters of the gulf.
Created in the late 1860s, it is largely red and blue with swirling vines of flowers and three large round rosettes across its centre.
Whoever the new owner is, it is unlikely the carpet will sit on a floor it is expected to be used as a wall hanging.
