Amritsar Indian Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Runner – Circa 1910 (Size Adjusted) BB9089 3'0" × 19'5" $9,000

This antique Amritsar Indian runner, hand-knotted in wool circa 1910, belongs to the celebrated North Indian weaving tradition that translated Persianate floral design into a more relaxed, decorative language. Size-adjusted for use in contemporary interiors, it retains the quiet authority of an early-20th-century floor covering.

A warm tan ground gives the field an aged luminosity, allowing the repeating medallion chain to stand out in brick red, teal, ivory, and brown. Scrolling vines, palmette-like forms, and small floral sprays create a disciplined trellis effect, while the softened wear lends the pattern a pleasing sense of depth and movement.

Narrow borders in coordinating tones echo the floral geometry and keep the composition tightly framed from end to end. The result is a runner with strong linear rhythm and an elegant antique presence, well suited to hallways, gallery walls, and other long spaces that benefit from color, pattern, and historical texture in both traditional and transitional schemes.
