Antique Indian Allover Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB8267 12'10" × 15'5" $80,000

This exquisite 1920’s Indian rug embodies the refined artistry of traditional North Indian weaving, inspired by the great Persian court carpets of centuries past. Its expansive 16’ x 13’ field is adorned with a flourishing allover botanical design, rendered in soft, harmonious tones of cream, indigo, and celadon green.

The composition is a lush garden of stylized palmettes, flowering vines, and scrolling tendrils, arranged in a balanced yet dynamic layout that captures both movement and symmetry. The border complements the field with a rich series of floral motifs and cartouches, enhancing the sense of depth and framing the design with elegance.

Woven by master craftsmen of the early 20th century, the rug displays a fine weave and exceptional wool quality, allowing the intricate details of its pattern to shine through. Its palette of cool blues and greens against a neutral ground gives the piece a timeless sophistication, making it versatile for both traditional and modern interiors.

This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, is not only a decorative centerpiece but also a collector’s treasure—a remarkable testament to the enduring legacy of Mughal-inspired design translated through 20th-century Indian craftsmanship.
