Antique Amritsar Indian Floral Allover Ivory Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1880 BB7201 11'5" × 16'10" $51,000

Woven in India circa 1880, this antique Amritsar carpet belongs to the distinguished North Indian weaving tradition prized for its courtly elegance and refined floral detail. Its hand-knotted wool construction gives the piece a supple surface and a quietly aged patina that suits both formal and layered interiors.

The design is organized around a rich allover field in warm brown and taupe, set against an ivory-beige framework of scrolling vines, palmettes, rosettes, and stylized blossoms. Rather than a single dominant medallion, the composition reads as a dense botanical trellis, with motifs interlocking in a balanced rhythm that feels ordered yet fluid. The wide border reinforces the architectural quality of the carpet with repeating floral sprays and leaf forms.

Softly muted and visually grounded, the palette tempers the intricacy of the pattern, allowing the rug to feel graceful rather than ornate. This antique Indian floral carpet offers the character of a period piece while remaining adaptable, bringing warmth, texture, and historical depth to traditional rooms and contemporary settings alike.

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.
