Americans are having the

country for antique Oriental

many.
Prices for the colorful, in-
tricately designed carpets
have soared in the last
decade, dealers My, with the
most expensive pieces going
home to their native Iran.
Thanks to the oil boom,

collectors. The kingdom of
Persia is now called Iran.
The bulk of the rugs are
headed for Germany, where
people will pay up to three
times more than Americana

many of these goods end up
