Indian Antique Floral Allover Green Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1910 BB6435 10'0" × 14'0" $53,000

This circa 1910 Indian hand-knotted wool rug is an antique floral allover carpet rooted in the region’s Mughal- and Persian-influenced workshop tradition. Its composition is formal but not rigid, pairing a dark green field with warm tan highlights and restrained accents of dusty pink, olive, and gold.

A lattice of rosettes, boteh-like forms, and small medallion crests repeats across the surface, while larger cartouche-shaped motifs anchor the design at regular intervals. The result is richly decorative yet carefully paced, with floral sprays and scrolling vines threading between the larger shapes. Subtle variation in the wool gives the pattern a softly aged, painterly quality that keeps the drawing from feeling severe.

A multi-band border, worked with blossoms, palmettes, and leafy tendrils, frames the interior and strengthens the rug’s sense of order. Beautiful in a library, dining room, or layered living space, this antique Indian rug offers the depth, texture, and collected presence that designers look for in a floral statement piece.
