Indian Antique Allover Oversized Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7749 16'5" × 27'0" $260,000

This oversized Indian antique rug, woven circa 1920 in the North Indian tradition, is hand-knotted in wool and composed as an allover field rather than a formal medallion. Its softened, time-worn surface gives the piece an understated presence, while the restrained layout keeps the design open and easy to place in grand, contemporary, or layered interiors.

The soft beige field is filled with a delicate Tree of Life vocabulary: branching trees, small flowering sprays, and scattered birds worked in muted dusty blue, taupe, and light gray. A faint trellis-like rhythm runs through the surface, lending structure to the botanical density without interrupting the rug’s airy, painterly character.

A narrower border hierarchy frames the field with repeating floral and vine ornament, echoing the interior motifs in a quieter register. The result is an antique Indian rug with gentle movement, elegant patina, and enough decorative complexity to anchor a room while remaining visually calm. As a hand-knotted wool antique rug, it offers both tactile warmth and lasting appeal.

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. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
