Antique Indian Floral Allover Oversized Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB5425 14'0" × 24'3" $120,000

This oversized antique Indian hand-knotted wool carpet, circa 1900, reflects the refined floral weaving tradition of North India. Its softly aged surface and measured ornament feel tailored to an elegant interior, where pattern is present but never crowded.

The soft beige field is arranged as an open-field allover composition, scattered with delicate botanical sprays, winding vine scrolls, and small crest-like medallions that seem to drift across the surface. A deep navy border, animated with stylized blossoms and palmettes, creates crisp definition, while muted teal and indigo accents lend depth to the restrained palette.

That balance of space, movement, and quiet color gives the carpet an architectural presence well suited to layered traditional rooms, transitional settings, or a collected modern scheme. Wool construction adds warmth and a gentle sheen, enhancing the mellow patina and the graceful, time-softened character prized in antique rugs.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
