Amritsar Indian Antique Medallion Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB5779 9'0" × 14'9" $47,500

Crafted in the culturally rich city of Amritsar around the turn of the 20th century, this antique Indian rug embodies the refined artistry and subtle elegance characteristic of the region’s finest weavings. Woven by skilled artisans using high-quality wool, the rug boasts a gracefully worn patina that adds depth and dimension to its soft, neutral palette.

The field features a faint yet intricate botanical and medallion design, rendered in harmonious tones of beige, sand, and muted taupe. The central medallion is flanked by sweeping arabesque motifs and scrolling vine work that meld effortlessly into the surrounding field, creating a sense of continuous movement. The faded ornamentation enhances the rug’s understated sophistication, making it particularly well-suited for contemporary interiors seeking texture and history without overwhelming color.

A series of stylized floral and geometric motifs lightly punctuate the border, framing the central design with subtle definition. The composition is balanced yet deliberately softened by time, giving it an almost ethereal presence.

Whether used in a formal living space, modern loft, or refined library, this antique Amritsar carpet serves not only as a floor covering but as a piece of living history — quietly elegant, richly storied, and timelessly beautiful.

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.
