Antique Indian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Runner – Circa 1900 BB4109 2'6" × 16'0" $13,000

This exquisite antique Indian runner from the early 20th century is a rare textile treasure, handwoven with remarkable attention to detail and artistry. Likely originating from the northern weaving centers of India, the runner showcases a classical Mughal aesthetic interpreted through the lens of local craftsmanship.

The composition features a sophisticated all-over pattern anchored by stylized botanical motifs and angular medallions, reflecting the Persian influence that permeated Indian rug design during this era. The subtle symmetry and repetition lend the piece a quiet elegance and rhythmic grace.

Rendered in a muted palette of pale camel, ivory, and soft blues, the colors have mellowed beautifully with time, imbuing the piece with a gentle patina that speaks to its age and authenticity. The soft wool pile is hand-knotted and densely woven, offering both durability and tactile richness.

With its narrow and elongated format, this runner is ideal for hallways or transitional spaces, bringing a sense of heritage, warmth, and refinement. Whether used in a contemporary or traditional setting, it carries with it the legacy of fine Indian textile artistry at its most understated and elegant.

A prime example of the exclusive and varied Doris Leslie Blau designs, this rug brings luxury and character to any space. 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.
