Antique Amritsar Indian Floral Allover Warm Tan With Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7129 12'5" × 14'5" $75,000

This exquisite 1900’s Antique Indian Amritsar rug embodies the refinement and elegance for which the weaving centers of Amritsar are celebrated. Handwoven at the turn of the 20th century, the piece balances grandeur with restraint, offering a harmonious field of subtle tonality and delicate floral ornamentation.

The soft golden-beige ground is adorned with a repeating pattern of understated medallions and palmettes, each rendered with a quiet precision that allows the natural abrash of the hand-spun wool to take center stage. The border frames the field with a series of scrolling floral vinery and rosettes, their refined outlines adding depth without overwhelming the composition.

Executed in a warm, monochromatic palette of camel, sand, and honey tones, the rug evokes an atmosphere of timeless serenity. The muted hues, softened by over a century of natural patina, create a versatile foundation that enhances both traditional and modern interiors.

Woven from the finest wool, the pile retains a supple sheen and velvety texture, hallmarks of Amritsar craftsmanship. At an impressive 15 × 13 ft, this carpet was likely commissioned for a grand interior, where its understated elegance and scale would anchor the space with quiet authority.

This antique Amritsar rug from Doris Leslie Blau Collection is not merely a floor covering but a testament to India’s rich textile heritage—an artwork of enduring sophistication and subtle luxury.
