Antique Amritsar Indian Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB4283 11'6" × 14'7" $70,000

Hand-knotted in India around 1900, this antique Amritsar wool rug reflects the refined weaving traditions of northwestern India at the turn of the 20th century.

The warm tan field is quietly composed, carrying a softened allover trellis of stylized palmettes, rosettes, and scrolling vinery that drifts across the surface with graceful restraint. Rather than presenting a rigid repeat, the pattern feels gently dispersed, its drawing mellowed by age into a low-contrast composition that reads as calm and architectural.

A terra-cotta and sand-toned border frames the rug with floral vine work and small geometric accents, lending definition without disrupting the field’s openness. Muted apricot, beige, and sienna notes enrich the wool pile with subtle warmth, making this antique Amritsar especially suited to layered interiors that call for historic character, softness, and an understated decorative presence.

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.
