Antique Agra Indian Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB4670 12'0" × 19'5" $65,000

A refined example of early 20th-century craftsmanship, this antique Indian Agra rug exudes elegance through its intricate design and richly nuanced palette. Woven circa 1900, the piece features a densely packed allover boteh motif—each element meticulously rendered in golden hues against a deep, contrasting ground. This recurring pattern not only adds rhythm and visual texture but also speaks to the Persian influence traditionally found in Agra weavings.

Framed by multiple concentric borders, the rug’s outer edge presents an ornate vine-and-palmette design, which enhances the structural harmony and offers a graceful transition from the richly decorated field. The high knot density and soft, luminous wool further underscore its quality and historical value.

Measuring generously in size, this Agra carpet is both luxurious and versatile, ideal for grounding a sophisticated interior. Whether placed in a formal sitting room, a study, or a grand entryway, its timeless elegance makes it a remarkable centerpiece.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
