Amritsar Indian Antique Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 (Size Adjusted) BB7237 11'10" × 17'6" $80,000

This antique Indian Amritsar rug, woven around 1900 and size-adjusted for contemporary interiors, reflects the refined carpet tradition of northern India. Hand-knotted in wool, it carries the elegance and disciplined symmetry that made Amritsar weaving so admired at the turn of the century.

A soft beige field sets a calm stage for an allover botanical design organized around a restrained central medallion and mirrored crest forms. Delicate floral sprays, scrolling vines, palmettes, and rosettes unfold with measured spacing, giving the composition a graceful rhythm rather than a dense, crowded effect. A layered border system frames the field with floral ornament and a clear sense of structure.

The palette stays understated and luminous, with muted pink, olive, terracotta, and burgundy accents lending warmth and subtle contrast to the pale ground. This balance of openness and ornament gives the rug a formal yet relaxed character, well suited to traditional rooms, transitional settings, or layered interiors that call for an antique wool rug with quiet decorative presence.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
