Antique Agra Indian Floral Allover Cream Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1935 BB8687 5'8" × 5'10" $5,500

This antique Indian Agra rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1935, reflects the refined northern Indian weaving tradition associated with Amritsar-made carpets. Its square format and allover floral arrangement give it the composed presence of a classic antique rug, with the softer draw and warm patina that collectors often value in pieces from this period.

A rich teal-blue field forms the backdrop for a mirrored botanical repeat anchored by a small medallion-like crest at the center. Cream blossoms, burgundy outlines, and rust accents break the surface with measured rhythm, while stylized vines, starbursts, and geometric rosettes add structure. The effect is both decorative and disciplined, with enough movement to keep the design lively.

A layered burgundy border stack frames the composition with vine-scroll and floral detail, reinforcing the rug’s tailored geometry and historic character. As an antique floral allover rug, it brings color, pattern, and a distinctly Indian sensibility to interiors, working especially well in rooms that call for warmth, texture, and a grounded sense of tradition.

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.
