Antique Amritsar Indian Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 (Size Adjusted) BB4457 11'6" × 12'0" $85,000

This antique Amritsar carpet, woven in India circa 1920, reflects the refined North Indian workshop tradition that blended Persian-inspired ornament with a more relaxed decorative sensibility. Its square format and room-size presence give the piece a balanced, architectural character suited to both classic and contemporary interiors, especially under furniture groupings.

The warm tan field is quietly animated by a dense trellis lattice strewn with tiny botanical motifs and scattered medallion forms. Rather than reading as rigidly repetitive, the pattern softens into a layered allover carpet with abrash and age-earned variation, allowing rust red, brown, and light beige accents to surface with subtle rhythm.

A well-defined border hierarchy frames the composition with floral arabesques and classical Persian-style detailing, reinforcing the rug’s formal structure. As an antique hand-knotted wool Indian rug, it brings history, texture, and a low-contrast palette to a dining room, library, or sitting area without overwhelming the room.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
