Antique Indian Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7729 11'9" × 14'3" $75,000

This antique Indian rug from the 1920s embodies the timeless elegance and refined artistry of traditional North Indian weaving. Woven in a generous 14 by 12-foot format, the piece features a rich allover botanical design composed of scrolling vines, leafy tendrils, and softly rendered blossoms. The muted palette of earthy taupes, warm beige, and gentle camel tones is enlivened by delicate accents of faded teal and slate blue, giving the composition a subtle but striking sense of depth.

The rug’s field is densely decorated with stylized floral motifs that echo the Persian-inspired aesthetic often found in Amritsar and Agra carpets of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its border, framed by finely drawn palmettes and vine scrolls, provides a sense of balance and harmony while seamlessly enclosing the richly detailed interior.

With its subdued colors and gracefully timeworn patina, this piece possesses a sophisticated, understated beauty that allows it to complement both traditional and modern interiors. Its age-softened hues and intricate patterning speak to nearly a century of history, making it not just a decorative furnishing, but a work of art imbued with cultural heritage.

This antique Indian rug is a rare and elegant example of early 20th-century craftsmanship—perfect for collectors, connoisseurs, or anyone seeking a statement textile with both presence and quiet refinement.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
