Antique Indian Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB6910 10'1" × 14'10" $27,000

This antique Indian rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1920, reflects the North Indian weaving tradition shaped by Persian and Anatolian precedents for Western interiors. Its composition favors quiet balance over density, allowing the design to breathe across the field with a measured, elegant rhythm.

A soft beige ground sets the tone, washed with dusty rose, lavender, and pale peach accents that emerge gently rather than insistently. Delicate botanical motifs, small rosettes, and crest-like forms are dispersed in an allover arrangement, while a restrained medallion suggestion anchors the center. The result is a carpet with a graceful, time-softened presence that feels both formal and relaxed.

A floral border frames the field with vine scrolls and scattered blossoms, reinforcing the antique character without overwhelming the open space. The muted palette and low-contrast pattern make this antique Indian floral rug especially versatile for interiors that value historic detail, layered texture, and a calm decorative finish.

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.
