Indian Antique Floral Allover Ivory Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1920 BB7298 9'9" × 13'0" $43,000

This antique Indian hand-knotted wool carpet, circa 1920, reflects the refined decorative tradition of North Indian weaving. Its allover layout feels formal yet relaxed, pairing a disciplined border with an evenly repeated field that gives the piece a settled, collected presence.

The composition is built on a warm brown ground enlivened by ivory botanical tracery, small floral rosettes, and scrolling vinework. A clear trellis structure organizes the repeat without making it rigid, while flashes of midnight navy add crisp definition and visual depth. The broad outer border, rendered in rich navy blue, frames the carpet with stylized blossoms and leafy arabesques that echo the field in a more compact rhythm.

With its softened drawing and harmonious palette, this antique floral rug brings an accomplished, timeworn elegance to a room. It works beautifully beneath a seating group, in a library, or in a dining setting where a classic allover pattern and enduring wool construction are desired.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
