Antique Amritsar Indian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 (Size Adjusted) BB7564 11'6" × 20'0" $85,000

This antique Amritsar Indian rug, woven circa 1880, belongs to the distinguished northern Indian carpet tradition and is hand-knotted in wool. Its broad, room-filling format and softened drawing reflect the refined decorative carpets Amritsar became known for in the late 19th century.

The design presents an allover floral field with a ghosted medallion presence, so the pattern reads as atmospheric rather than rigidly symmetrical. Scrolling vines, foliate sprays, and palmette-like forms emerge and recede across the surface, giving the composition a gently faded, painterly character.

A quiet border frames the field without interrupting its calm rhythm, while the soft beige ground is warmed by taupe, light brown, and muted tan accents. The low-contrast palette lends the rug a graceful patina and makes it especially adaptable in interiors that favor layering, traditional detail, or a more understated antique presence.

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