Antique North Indian Botanical Wool Rug BB8980 13'0" × 17'6" $95,000

This exquisite early 20th-century North Indian rug showcases the enduring beauty and craftsmanship of antique Indian textile art. Hand-knotted from high-quality wool around the 1910s, the piece exhibits a soft, faded palette dominated by celadon blues, dusty indigos, and warm sandy beiges—colors that speak to both its age and timeless elegance.

The rug’s design draws inspiration from traditional botanical motifs and is arranged in a refined lattice of palmettes, floral sprays, and stylized leaves, each delicately framed within diamond medallions. The harmonious repetition of flora evokes the lush gardens of the Mughal era, while the subtle abrash and worn patina lend the piece a romantic, timeworn charm.

A detailed border of floral vines and blooming blossoms frames the central field, grounding the design while complementing its soft color scheme. The hand-spun wool lends the rug a gentle sheen and a dense yet supple texture, ideal for elegant interiors that value both comfort and heritage.

This antique North Indian carpet is not just a decorative piece—it is a work of history, artistry, and natural grace that will enrich any traditional or transitional space.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
