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

This antique Amritsar Indian square rug, woven circa 1920, reflects the refined carpet-making tradition of northwestern India. Hand-knotted in wool, it belongs to the celebrated family of Amritsar rugs admired for their balance of European elegance and Persian-inspired ornament.

The warm tan field is organized by an orderly trellis of angular latticework, enclosing small floral details and octagonal medallion forms that give the composition a measured, architectural rhythm. A substantial border of scrolling vines and stylized blossoms frames the design, while the softened beige, ivory, and brown tones lend depth without disturbing the rug’s symmetry.

Its restrained palette and disciplined repeat make it especially versatile beneath seating or dining arrangements, where the geometric pattern adds structure and historic character. With its Arts and Crafts feeling and Sultanabad-like spaciousness, this antique Indian rug offers a quietly refined presence that works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has earned an international reputation for curating rare and important rugs spanning centuries of design history.
