Indian Antique Allover Cream Beige With Brown Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1950 BB8894 18'0" × 20'7" $130,000

A masterclass in symmetry and bold design, this oversized vintage Indian rug from the 1950s reflects the mid-century fascination with graphic precision and timeless craftsmanship.

The rug’s field is defined by a striking repeating allover pattern of stylized floral motifs and geometric stars, forming a lattice that feels both organic and architecturally ordered. Rendered in a warm golden beige and rich chocolate brown palette, the pattern radiates depth and dimension, offering a sophisticated contrast that draws the eye without overwhelming the space.

What distinguishes this piece is its meticulous execution and balanced composition. The interplay of curving vines, pointed petals, and diamond-shaped forms echoes traditional Indian motifs while embracing a clean, almost modernist aesthetic. The simple double-line border frames the composition with elegance, maintaining visual focus on the rug’s intricate core design.

Woven by hand from high-quality wool, this rug exhibits a soft yet durable texture, suitable for both formal and contemporary interiors. Whether anchoring a grand living room, library, or hospitality space, its bold repetition and harmonious tones lend a sense of rhythm and quiet opulence.

This 1950s Indian floral carpet is more than a decorative floor covering—it is a statement of style, merging historic influence with enduring visual clarity.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship.
