Antique Amritsar Indian Allover Floral Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1880 BB7334 10'0" × 14'10" $27,000

This antique Amritsar Indian carpet, woven circa 1880 in northern India, reflects the refined workshop tradition of Amritsar with a hand-knotted wool construction and a quietly elegant allover composition.

The muted beige field is organized into staggered vertical rows of elongated boteh-like palmettes, small floral sprays, and trellis-like links that create a measured, almost architectural rhythm. Rather than a single central medallion, the design relies on repetition and balance, allowing the pattern to read softly across the surface. Faded rose, dusty blue-gray, light brown, and soft terracotta accents add depth without disturbing the rug’s restrained character.

A brick red main border, set with bold floral rosettes and narrow guard borders, frames the field with clarity. The time-softened palette and gently worn surface give this antique Indian rug an easy elegance, making it well suited to formal rooms, transitional interiors, or any setting that calls for an antique floral carpet with warmth, texture, and historical presence.

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.
