Antique Indian Allover Geometric Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1910 BB8754 14'2" × 18'6" $95,000

Antique Indian hand-knotted wool rug, circa 1910, woven in a formal North Indian tradition, with a remarkably ordered allover geometric layout.

The warm tan field is organized by a dark navy lattice that links repeated cartouches, octagonal compartments, and small floral knots into a steady, rhythmic repeat. Soft light blue, brick red, ivory, and touches of gold animate the pattern without disturbing its symmetry, giving the composition both clarity and depth. Rather than relying on a single medallion, the design unfolds across the entire surface, creating a refined trellis effect that feels architectural and composed. The border is equally confident, with a deep navy ground carrying rosettes, star-like blossoms, and vinework that frame the field with precision.

This antique geometric rug offers the kind of visual structure designers value in formal, traditional, or layered interiors, where pattern needs presence but not excess. Its hand-knotted wool construction and carefully balanced palette lend it the durability and character associated with fine antique Indian carpets, while the allover floral geometry keeps the look elegant and versatile.

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