Amritsar Indian Antique Floral Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB3993 8'10" × 12'0" $24,000

An antique Indian Amritsar rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1900, this early 20th-century carpet reflects the refined weaving tradition of North India. Its calm, light beige ground gives the piece a restrained presence, while the composition remains formal and carefully balanced.

The field reads as an allover floral lattice, with mirrored vine scrolls and rosette blossoms arranged in a disciplined repeat. Soft cream, warm tan, and muted brown create gentle contrast, allowing the botanical motifs to emerge with quiet clarity. The design feels architectural as well as decorative, making it especially well suited to interiors that favor order, warmth, and subtle pattern.

A broad floral border frames the rug with rosettes and stylized medallions, tightened by smaller guard bands that sharpen the outline. The result is an Amritsar antique rug with a polished, tailored character—elegant enough for formal rooms, yet understated enough to layer easily into transitional settings.

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.
