Antique Amritsar Indian Allover Floral Golden Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB5777 11'0" × 20'8" $105,000

This exquisite antique Amritsar rug from the 1920s exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and aesthetic subtlety that characterize northern Indian textile artistry. Handwoven in the city of Amritsar, a renowned center of rug production during the British colonial period, the carpet showcases a delicate fusion of Persian design elements with Indian flair, tailored to Western sensibilities of the time.

The rug’s field features an allover latticework of floral motifs, palmettes, and curling vinery—each element rendered in a soft, almost ethereal palette of muted terracotta, camel, beige, and pale blue. A rhythmic arrangement of stylized rosettes and sinuous vines dances across the field, interspersed with symbolic lotus-like blossoms and arabesques that provide a sense of movement and grace.

Framing the central field is a broad, sapphire-toned border enriched with geometric medallions and floral guards, harmonizing with the field while offering a bold visual contrast. The abrashed hues and patina speak to the rug’s age and authenticity, further elevating its decorative and collectible value.

Made of fine wool with a dense, low pile, this rug is both luxurious in texture and durable, making it a perfect candidate for elegant living spaces, formal dining rooms, or curated interiors seeking a touch of antique sophistication. Its size and presence also make it well-suited for larger rooms or gallery settings.
