Antique Amritsar Indian Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1900 BB4095 11'5" × 14'5" $65,000

This antique Amritsar Indian carpet, woven circa 1900, reflects the refined North Indian weaving tradition of Punjab. Hand-knotted in wool, it translates classical Persian-inspired order into a softer, more atmospheric composition, making it a graceful choice for elegant living rooms, libraries, or formal dining spaces.

The soft beige field is organized by a disciplined allover lattice of geometric, floral, and trellis motifs, with medallion-like forms repeating in steady horizontal bands. Their crisp outlines are gently muted by age, giving the pattern a pleasing balance of structure and ease. Warm tan, camel, ivory, and restrained rust accents keep the drawing light and nuanced rather than heavy.

A layered border system frames the field with scrolling vines, palmettes, rosettes, and small floral cartouches, adding architectural definition without interrupting the carpet’s calm rhythm. The result is an Arts and Crafts-leaning Amritsar rug with hints of Kashan and Oushak influence: formal yet relaxed, decorative yet quietly understated, and well suited to interiors that call for pattern with composure.

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.
