Antique Amritsar Indian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7327 14'5" × 15'9" $70,000

This antique Amritsar Indian rug, woven circa 1900 in Northern India, reflects the region’s formal carpet tradition in hand-knotted wool. Its presentation is restrained rather than ornate, with the kind of softened surface and quiet balance that make antique Amritsar rugs so appealing to collectors and designers.

An allover floral field unfolds across a soft beige ground, organized by a delicate trellis that carries small blossoms, foliate forms, and rosette-like repeats. Time has mellowed the palette into ivory, taupe, and warm brown tones, allowing the pattern to read as atmospheric and tonal instead of sharply graphic.

A broad border with repeating botanical motifs frames the composition and reinforces its classic symmetry. The rug’s faded elegance makes it especially suited to formal living spaces, libraries, or layered interiors, where antique Indian craftsmanship, understated color, and a refined floral pattern can add depth without overpowering the architecture.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
