Antique Amritsar Indian Floral Allover Warm Tan With Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7129 12'5" × 14'5" $75,000

This antique Indian Amritsar rug, woven circa 1900 in the celebrated Amritsar weaving tradition, is hand-knotted in wool and distinguished by its quiet decorative restraint. The softly aged warm tan ground provides a calm, luminous foundation, allowing the design to read with subtle depth rather than bold contrast.

Across the field, a delicate allover repeat of small floral and boteh-like motifs creates a measured rhythm that feels both orderly and relaxed. Instead of a dominant center medallion, the composition leans toward an understated botanical pattern, while the surrounding border brings definition with scrolling blossoms, rosettes, and trellis-like ornament that reflect the Persianate design vocabulary associated with fine Amritsar carpets.

The palette of warm tan, light beige, and brown has mellowed into a naturally aged patina, giving the rug an easy versatility. Its floral antique character works beautifully in traditional interiors, layered transitional rooms, or elegant settings where softness, warmth, and historic texture are more desirable than strong color.

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.
