Antique Indian Allover Floral Light Beige And Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB3561 12'8" × 17'3" $130,000

An early 20th-century Indian hand-knotted wool carpet, circa 1920, this piece reflects the refined decorative traditions of North Indian weaving. Its light beige ground supports a crisp blue composition that feels formal yet approachable, making it a versatile antique rug for a layered interior. The balanced layout and low-contrast palette allow the antique surface to read as both decorative and architectural.

The field is organized as an allover trellis of flowering vines, dense blossoms, and scrolling foliage, with the design repeating in a measured rhythm across the surface. The strong blue pattern against the pale background creates clarity without heaviness, while the dense botanical drawing gives the carpet a lively, textile-like texture. Its formal symmetry suits rooms that need pattern with restraint.

A restrained border completes the composition with small blue floral ornaments on beige, framing the interior without competing with it. Elegant and quietly expressive, this antique Indian rug brings pattern, softness, and a cool-toned palette to traditional, transitional, or contemporary rooms.

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