Antique Indian Allover Light Greige Wool Rug BB9228 11'7" × 20'5" $95,000

This antique North Indian wool rug, woven circa 1900, presents a formal allover composition in the restrained tradition of early twentieth-century Indian carpets.

The light greige field is softened by a faintly luminous network of floral and medallion-like motifs, arranged in a measured repeat that feels both orderly and relaxed. Dusty pink accents appear throughout the design, bringing warmth to the pale ground and highlighting the rug’s gently faded, time-softened character. The effect is elegant rather than emphatic, with the pattern emerging gradually across the surface.

A narrow border of small geometric blossoms frames the composition and reinforces its balanced, decorative structure. Subtle in tone yet rich in presence, this antique Indian rug offers the quiet formality and layered patina that suit refined interiors, from traditional rooms to more contemporary settings seeking softness and history.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery’s longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
