Antique Agra Indian Allover Floral Warm Tan With Teal Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7136 13'9" × 23'0" $130,000

This antique Indian Agra rug, circa 1920, is hand-knotted in wool and rooted in the refined North Indian carpet tradition shaped by Persian court aesthetics. It reflects the elegant, formal weaving language for which Agra rugs are prized, combining restraint with decorative richness.

A warm tan field creates a soft backdrop for the teal-blue design, where faded crest-like medallions, scrolling floral forms, and foliate details appear in a balanced allover arrangement. The composition is spacious rather than crowded, allowing the motifs to float across the surface and giving the rug an airy, architectural character. Large border elements and corner devices reinforce the sense of symmetry while the time-softened drawing lends the pattern a pleasing sense of age.

The muted palette and low-contrast ornament make this antique Agra carpet especially adaptable in traditional, transitional, and layered contemporary interiors. Its worn wool surface and gentle patina add depth without visual weight, offering a collected look that feels both decorative and quietly formal.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has earned an international reputation for curating rare and important rugs spanning centuries of design history.
