Antique Agra Indian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB5556 11'10" × 12'9" $75,000

This antique Agra Indian carpet, woven around 1900 in hand-knotted wool, reflects the refined Persian-influenced tradition of northern Indian weaving. Its square, room-size format and decorative balance make it an adaptable antique rug for collectors drawn to formal pattern and warm historic character.

A dark chocolate-brown field carries an allover lattice of floral sprays, boteh-like forms, rosettes, and palmettes, set with disciplined symmetry yet plenty of movement. Jewel-like notes of burgundy, navy blue, gold, ivory, and soft coral brighten the composition and give the surface a layered, almost tapestry-like depth.

Multiple narrow borders organize the design, leading to a light outer guard with scrolling vines and small blossoms that soften the darker center. The result is an antique floral Agra carpet with presence and versatility, well suited to traditional interiors, transitional rooms, and spaces that benefit from richly patterned antique Indian rugs.

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.
