Indian Antique Allover Floral Golden Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB7725 10'1" × 19'9" $120,000

This 1920s antique Indian rug is a masterful display of traditional textile artistry from the Indian subcontinent, reflecting both Persian-inspired design sensibilities and local craftsmanship. Spanning an impressive 20 feet in length, this oversized rug offers a refined and sophisticated aesthetic, ideal for anchoring large interior spaces with grace and character.

The field features a dense allover floral design, composed of stylized palmettes, blossoming vines, and delicate arabesques. These elements are rendered in a soft coral-rose background, accented by muted tones of gold, ivory, teal, and sapphire blue, giving the rug a richly decorative yet harmonious presence.

Surrounding the central field is a deep green main border, filled with meandering floral and vine motifs, elegantly outlined with intricate guard borders in golden tones. Some segments of the border exhibit stylized cartouche-like elements that subtly echo classical Persian design themes, though the execution remains uniquely Indian in its rhythm and flow.

Woven from high-quality wool, the rug displays a low, even pile with areas of tasteful wear, creating a beautifully distressed texture that enhances its antique charm. The natural abrash and soft patina developed over time add visual depth and character, making it a captivating piece both aesthetically and historically.
