Antique Indian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB6409 13'4" × 15'6" $95,000

This antique Indian hand-knotted wool rug, circa 1920, reflects the Persianate revival weaving tradition that flourished in India in the early 20th century. Its dense field is colored in deep burgundy and wine, creating a dramatic base for the lighter floral drawing.

At the center and throughout the surface, lotus-like palmettes, curling leaves, and delicate vine tendrils unfold in teal, powder blue, sage, ivory, and muted gold. The allover botanical layout feels formal yet fluid, with mirrored motifs that keep the composition lively rather than rigid.

A narrow border in tan, blue, and soft gold frames the design with a quieter floral rhythm, sharpening the contrast around the field. Rich in color and finely articulated in wool, this antique Indian floral rug brings the decorative richness of a historic hand-knotted carpet into a refined interior setting.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has earned an international reputation for curating rare and important rugs spanning centuries of design history.
