Antique Amritsar Indian Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7460 6'8" × 15'3" $32,000

This antique Amritsar Indian rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1900, reflects the refined weaving tradition of northern India at the turn of the century. Its elegant allover layout and quiet palette give it a composed, collectible presence suited to both classic and layered contemporary interiors.

The light beige field is covered with a tightly spaced repeat of boteh-like botanical motifs, each small form rendered in dark brown, warm tan, and subtle rust. Set in staggered rows, the motifs create a trellis-like rhythm that feels orderly yet organic, bringing gentle movement to the surface without overwhelming the room.

A compact border in deep brown and earthy red frames the composition with scrolling floral detail, reinforcing the rug’s structure and balancing the understated field. The result is an antique Indian carpet with a calm, courtly character, rich in texture and ideal for adding historic depth, warmth, and pattern to formal and relaxed spaces alike.

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