Antique Amritsar Indian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 (Size Adjusted) BB5751 13'3" × 20'2" $95,000

This antique Indian Amritsar carpet, hand-knotted in wool circa 1900, reflects the refined weaving tradition of Punjab at the turn of the century. Its soft beige field is arranged in an orderly allover repeat, giving the rug a calm, decorative presence rather than a formal medallion composition.

Across the ground, boteh-like floral bouquets, palmettes, and small foliate sprays appear in muted terracotta, dusty rose, gold, and olive tones. The spacing creates a loose trellis rhythm that feels balanced and airy, while the gently worn palette lends the surface a warm, time-softened glow. A narrow inner frame contains the design neatly.

The border is articulated with scrolling vinery and abstracted floral details, adding definition without overpowering the open field. Characteristic of Amritsar rugs, the composition blends Persian-inspired ornament with a more tailored, Western-facing sensibility, making it especially suited to elegant interiors that call for pattern, softness, and historical character.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
