Antique Amritsar Indian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 (Size Adjusted) BB7728 11'9" × 16'3" $48,000

Woven in India around 1900, this antique Amritsar rug is a hand-knotted wool piece rooted in the refined carpet tradition of northern India. Size-adjusted for contemporary interiors, it preserves the elegance of an early 20th-century carpet while offering a practical large-format presence.

The composition reads as a framed allover botanical design, with a soft beige field animated by scrolling vines, rosettes, trellis links, and small medallion-like cartouches. Its low-contrast drawing, in dusty pink, taupe, and warm brown, creates a layered surface that feels detailed yet restrained. The border hierarchy is clearly defined, with floral forms and gentle cartouches lending structure to the open field.

Typical of admired Amritsar weaving, the rug balances Mughal-inspired floral ornament with a more understated Western sensibility, resulting in a formal pattern that never feels heavy. The softened palette and airy repeat give it easy versatility, making it especially well suited to traditional, transitional, or tailored rooms where antique Indian rugs bring texture, warmth, and historical depth.

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.
