Antique Indian Allover Light Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug (Size Adjusted) BB9253 11'0" × 20'0"

This antique Indian rug from North India, woven in the formal tradition, presents a quietly elegant look shaped by age and careful abrasion. Its light taupe ground and softened surface give the carpet an airy, collected presence rather than a strong contrast.

The design unfolds in an allover floral lattice, where pale blue, dusty pink, and sand beige motifs drift across the field like a faded brocade. Rosettes, palmettes, and small botanical forms repeat with subtle rhythm, while the thin border and guard lines lightly frame the composition without disturbing its open, timeworn character.

That restrained palette makes the piece especially useful in interiors that call for warmth without heaviness. It can anchor a formal living room, soften a dining space, or bring historical texture to a more contemporary setting. As an antique Indian carpet with a delicately faded surface, it offers the kind of quiet sophistication designers often seek in an allover antique rug.

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.
