Antique Amritsar Indian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 (Size Adjusted) BB7305 11'7" × 19'7" $65,000

This Antique Indian Amritsar rug, circa 1900, reflects the elegance and artistry of one of India’s most celebrated weaving centers. Handwoven in fine wool, the piece features an all-over floral design rendered with graceful symmetry, softened by a time-worn patina that enhances its warmth and historic character.

The field is filled with interlacing vinery, rosettes, and stylized blossoms, arranged in a delicate lattice that speaks to Persian influence while maintaining the distinctive refinement of Amritsar craftsmanship. A soft, luminous palette of ivory, rose, apricot, muted gold, and gentle greens creates a sense of lightness and subtle movement, making the design both intricate and soothing to the eye.

The composition is framed by a series of decorative borders, with wide guard bands displaying scrolling palmettes and floral motifs, balancing the elaborate field with harmony and proportion. The rug’s size—originally woven on a grand scale and since adjusted—enhances its versatility, making it suitable for both large formal settings and more intimate interiors seeking a statement of history and grace.

This Amritsar exemplifies the qualities most prized in antique Indian rugs: fine wool, luminous coloring, and balanced design. Its enduring elegance ensures it will remain a timeless foundation piece in any sophisticated interior.
