Antique Amritsar Indian Allover Floral Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1880 BB7334 10'0" × 14'10" $27,000

This stately 1880’s antique Amritsar rug exemplifies the masterful artistry of North Indian weaving traditions, blending Persian-inspired motifs with a soft, time-mellowed palette. Woven in the famed workshops of Amritsar, this piece reflects both sophistication and understated elegance.

The field is adorned with an all-over lattice of elongated boteh-like palmettes, rosettes, and stylized floral sprays, arranged in orderly vertical columns. These motifs unfold against a warm, faded ground of muted taupe and sandy beige, enriched by traces of terracotta, russet, and soft clay undertones. Gentle abrash throughout the surface lends the rug a sense of age and depth, enhancing its antique character.

A wide border frames the composition, featuring bold floral rosettes in ivory and camel set against a deep terracotta backdrop, enclosed by narrow guard borders with scrolling vine patterns. The harmonious balance of the design, combined with the rug’s restrained, earthy color palette, creates a work of art that is both decorative and versatile.

Handwoven from fine wool, the rug bears the unmistakable patina of its age, with a gentle, time-softened texture that speaks to over a century of history. Its large-scale design and dignified hues make it particularly well-suited for grand interiors, offering warmth and refinement without overwhelming a space.
