Antique Indian Allover Floral Muted Peach Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 Tree Of Life BB9087 12'6" × 19'5" $95,000

This antique Indian hand-knotted wool carpet, dating to around 1900, comes from the North Indian weaving tradition and presents a Tree of Life-inspired allover botanical design. The composition is carried across a muted peach field, giving the rug a softened, timeworn glow that feels refined rather than formal.

Repeated arboreal motifs rise through the surface in delicate succession, with branching stems, flowering sprays, and occasional birds woven into a dense, layered pattern. The drawing is intentionally understated, allowing the field to read as a continuous tapestry of foliage and blossoms. Faded dusty blue, pale gold, olive, and washed rose accents add quiet movement without breaking the rug’s gentle tonal harmony.

A restrained floral border frames the composition and reinforces its balanced, serene character. The worn clarity of the wool pile enhances the antique patina, making this floral Indian carpet especially effective in interiors that call for pattern, warmth, and historical character without heavy contrast. Its allover rhythm lends itself naturally to formal rooms, bedrooms, and layered contemporary settings alike.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965.
