Amritsar Indian Antique Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1910 (Size Adjusted) BB9057 10'4" × 16'10" $43,000

Woven in India circa 1910, this antique Amritsar rug reflects the refined North Indian carpet tradition associated with the city’s celebrated workshops. Hand-knotted in wool, it presents an allover composition that feels both orderly and richly layered, offering a strong decorative presence without relying on a single central medallion.

The warm tan field is covered edge to edge with a rhythmic trellis of interlocking rosettes, diamond-shaped units, and stylized floral links. Brick red and navy blue provide structure and contrast, while olive, soft beige, and muted accents lend depth to the repeat. The result is a patterned surface that reads as intricate yet balanced, with the gentle wear of age softening the details in an appealing way.

A restrained border hierarchy frames the design with narrow guard bands and a floral outer edge, allowing the dense field to remain the focus. Elegant and adaptable, this antique Amritsar wool rug brings warmth, texture, and historic character to traditional, transitional, or collected interiors.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug reflects the gallery's longstanding dedication to preserving the finest examples of carpet artistry from around the world. Its remarkable craftsmanship and patina make it both a decorative statement and a collectible work of art.
