A 400-year-old Mughal carpet owned by a US financier, novelist and the Thyssen family returns to auction
A remarkable relic from the Mughal era, the 'Yerkes-Remarque' carpet, is set to go under the hammer at Sotheby's. Adorned with intricate hunting scenes and bold motifs from the 17th century, this carpet represents the height of Indian artistry. With previous ownership linked to luminaries like Charles T. Yerkes and Erich Maria Remarque, its historical significance is profound.
