Antique Amritsar Indian Allover Geometric Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 (Size Adjusted) BB7375 9'9" × 10'0" $36,000

This antique Amritsar Indian rug, woven circa 1920, is a hand-knotted wool carpet from one of northern India’s most respected weaving centers. Its square format and softened palette give the piece an elegant, collected presence. The hand-knotted wool pile brings a pleasingly tactile surface that suits both collector-focused rooms and relaxed, lived-in spaces.

The warm tan field is arranged as an allover geometric lattice of pointed-arch and cartouche-like compartments, each enclosing stylized floral forms. Ivory outlines and muted gold accents keep the design light, while the repeating structure creates a steady architectural rhythm. The effect is decorative but controlled, with Kashan and Oushak influences softened into an Amritsar interpretation.

A formal border frames the composition with scrolling botanical ornament and rosette details, echoing the field without overwhelming it. Low-contrast beige, taupe, and brown tones allow the pattern to read gently from across the room, making this antique Indian rug especially adaptable in traditional, transitional, or layered contemporary interiors.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
