Antique Indian Amritsar Rug BB3992 11'9" × 15'8" $30,000

Exemplifying the refined artistry of early 20th-century Indian weaving, this antique Amritsar rug captures the grandeur of Mughal-inspired design with a palette and composition tailored to Western tastes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The field is an intricate lattice of stylized floral motifs, scrolling vines, and delicate palmettes, arranged in a symmetrical allover pattern. Rendered in harmonious shades of warm terracotta, aged ivory, and soft beige, the design exudes an understated elegance that only time and craftsmanship can achieve. The structure suggests a refined repetition of eight-petaled blossoms and interconnected tendrils, forming a delicate trellis across the surface. The botanical flourishes nod to Persian influences while remaining distinctively Indian in execution and tone.

The wide border features a striking series of rosettes and geometric medallions encased in elegant cartouches, flanked by scrolling vine guard borders. The depth and rhythm created by these framing elements lend balance and architectural structure to the overall composition.

Woven in the famed weaving centers of Amritsar, this rug is crafted from fine wool and displays the tight knotting and lustrous finish for which the region is known. The muted tones and gentle abrashed effect give the rug a timeless, lived-in appeal — ideal for sophisticated interiors seeking both history and softness.
