Antique Agra Indian Floral Allover Light Gray And Pink Hand-Knotted Cotton Rug – Circa 1920 BB8577 12'4" × 16'8" $77,000

Antique Agra Indian floral allover rug, circa 1920, woven in India’s historic Agra tradition and hand-knotted in cotton for a notably soft, understated presence.

Its light gray field is washed to an ivory tone and covered with a broad repeat of scrolling botanicals, palmettes, and rosette-like blossoms that together create a softened medallion lattice effect. Pale pink motifs rise gently from the ground, so the design reads with a watercolor-like delicacy rather than strong contrast. The result is decorative yet restrained, with the worn clarity of an early 20th-century carpet that has aged gracefully.

A quiet border frames the composition without overpowering it, allowing the floral allover pattern to remain the focus. The organic rhythm of the drawing carries a subtle Arts and Crafts character, while the calm palette makes this antique Agra rug especially well suited to traditional, transitional, or softly layered contemporary interiors.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
