Amritsar Indian Antique Allover Floral Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 (Size Adjusted) BB7279 9'7" × 11'1" $45,000

Antique Indian Amritsar hand-knotted wool carpet, woven circa 1900 in the Punjab region, reflects the refined carpet-making tradition that flourished there at the turn of the century.

Here the appeal lies in the softened palette: warm taupe, light beige, tan, and faded brown blend into a gentle, time-worn surface. The field carries an allover floral and foliate repeat organized around medallion-like crests, so the pattern feels balanced and quietly formal without becoming rigid. Rather than sharp contrast, the drawing is misted and atmospheric, giving the motifs a layered depth that reads elegantly from across a room.

A disciplined border frames the composition with scrolling vines and stylized blossoms, reinforcing the carpet’s classic structure while preserving its relaxed character. Hand-knotted in wool, this antique Amritsar offers the tactile softness and visual ease that suit both traditional settings and contemporary interiors seeking warmth, texture, and an Indian rug with enduring composure.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
