REAL OLD PERSIAN RUGS Value of the Genuine Hand-Made Arti cle Is Enormous. The value of a real old Persian rug lies in the number of hand-made knots to the square inch. A silk rug which was sold the other day for £5,000, and which was catalogued as "Middle Persia," was six feet eleyen inches in length and four feet ten inches in width, and contained 780 hand-tied Persian knots to the square inch. Although nearly 300 years old, it was in excellent condition, with the exception of one end, which had been slashed by the sharp knife of some vandal during the time it was on exhibition at a recent show. The amount of work expended in this fabric must have been Immense, a single inch, it is computed, taking one man thirteen hours to complete.
