Amritsar Indian Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet(Fragment) – Circa 1920 (Fragment) BB8646 6'10" × 7'8" $15,000

This exquisite antique Amritsar fragment rug, dating from the 1920s, reflects the refined artistry of North India’s celebrated weaving tradition. Woven in a soft, muted palette of beige, rose, and earthy tones, the rug presents an elegant interplay of stylized floral motifs and branching vine patterns that gracefully extend across the field.

The design emphasizes openness and rhythm, with delicate blossoms and leafy sprays rendered in shades of crimson, faded mauve, and warm brown, gently standing out against the pale sand-toned ground. Subtle abrash enhances its time-softened character, imbuing the rug with depth and movement.

Amritsar rugs of this period are prized for their restrained elegance and harmonious compositions, qualities that make this fragment particularly appealing. Despite its age, the weaving retains clarity and balance, with the simplified floral arrangement evoking both Persian influences and the refined sensibilities of Indian craftsmanship.

With its graceful palette and understated sophistication, this antique Amritsar fragment rug serves beautifully as both a collectible textile and a decorative accent, embodying the timeless charm of early 20th-century Indian weaving.
