Antique Amritsar Indian Allover Geometric Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 (Size Adjusted) BB7374 9'8" × 10'2" $36,000

This Antique Indian Amritsar rug, circa 1920, embodies the quiet elegance and refined artistry for which Amritsar weavers are celebrated. Woven in soft, naturally dyed wool, the rug presents a harmonious palette of muted golds, camel, ivory, and gentle beige, tones that have gracefully mellowed with time to produce a warm, understated patina.

The all-over design features large-scale palmettes, stylized florals, and angular vine scrolls arranged in a rhythmic, almost architectural pattern. Each motif is carefully articulated, yet softened by the delicate abrashed color variations created by hand-dyed yarns. The central field is framed by a broad, intricately decorated border with complementary floral and cartouche elements, which balance the bold geometry of the interior.

This square format piece is both rare and versatile, ideal for anchoring seating areas or lending cohesion to spacious interiors. Its muted palette and refined design make it particularly suited for transitional or contemporary spaces, where its subtle sophistication can harmonize with both modern and traditional furnishings.

Amritsar rugs from the early 20th century are highly prized for their craftsmanship, durability, and timeless appeal, and this example—with its graceful palette and grand scale—offers both decorative beauty and historic value.

With its unique pattern and refined colors, this rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
