Antique Amritsar Indian Allover Floral Golden Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB5777 11'0" × 20'8" $105,000

This antique Amritsar Indian rug, circa 1920, is a hand-knotted wool carpet from the celebrated weaving tradition of northern India. Its allover composition reflects the sophisticated courtly influence that made Amritsar rugs so desirable, balancing Persian-inspired structure with a softer, more atmospheric finish.

The field is rendered in a warm golden tan, creating an inviting ground for a fine network of floral sprigs, foliate curls, and trellis-like vine work. Small rosettes and stylized blossoms repeat across the surface with measured rhythm, while the muted blue-green accents give the design definition without interrupting its calm, room-friendly harmony. The effect is decorative yet restrained, with a gently worn patina that adds depth and character.

A broad border in tonal blue and soft beige frames the composition with geometric floral medallions and scrolling ornament, lending the rug a tailored, formal presence. Elegant and versatile, this antique Indian rug brings warmth, pattern, and historical depth to interiors seeking a refined foundation with enduring visual appeal.

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.
