Antique Amritsar Indian Allover Geometric Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB8570 8'9" × 11'6" $38,000

This exquisite antique Amritsar rug, dating back to the early 1900s, beautifully exemplifies the artistry and craftsmanship of Northern India’s renowned weaving tradition. The rug features a harmonious and balanced allover design, adorned with angular palmettes, stylized blossoms, and delicate vinery that unfold gracefully across the field.

The color palette is warm and inviting, dominated by soft ivory and sandy beige tones, enriched with accents of brick red, earthy terracotta, caramel brown, and deep chocolate outlines. These shades are carefully blended to create both contrast and cohesion, bringing depth and movement to the design. The borders, framed with a meandering floral pattern, enhance the composition while adding a sense of structure.

Woven from high-quality wool, the pile has developed a patina over time, lending it a subtle texture and character that speaks to its age and authenticity. The muted yet glowing tones, combined with its large-scale pattern, make this piece highly versatile—equally suitable for traditional, transitional, or modern interiors seeking a touch of historic elegance.

A true testament to the Amritsar weaving tradition, this rug represents not just a floor covering but a piece of history—an embodiment of India’s cultural exchange with Persian design sensibilities at the turn of the 20th century.

A prime example of the exclusive and varied Doris Leslie Blau designs, this rug brings luxury and character to any space. 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.
