Antique Amritsar Indian Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 (Size Adjusted) BB7305 11'7" × 19'7" $65,000

This antique Amritsar Indian rug, woven circa 1900 and hand-knotted in wool, reflects the refined carpet tradition of northern India at the turn of the century. Its warm tan ground gives the piece an inviting, aged luminosity while preserving the disciplined elegance associated with Amritsar weaving.

Across the field, repeating floral cartouches, rosettes, and scrolling vinery create an allover botanical trellis that feels balanced rather than busy. Dusty rose accents soften the composition, while light beige, soft gold, and warm taupe lend depth and a gently faded patina. The symmetry suggests Persian influence, yet the drawing remains distinctly Amritsar in its polished restraint.

A layered border system frames the interior design with clear definition, the wide guard bands echoing the foliate language of the field. The hand-knotted wool surface adds a supple finish, and the rug’s subdued palette makes it easy to anchor traditional or transitional rooms with antique Indian character, tonal warmth, and understated ornament.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
