Indian Antique Floral Allover Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB8276 9'9" × 16'5" $85,000

This antique Indian hand-knotted wool rug, circa 1920, reflects the refined weaving tradition of early 20th-century North India. Its allover floral composition gives the piece a graceful, collected character that feels both decorative and relaxed.

A light beige field provides a soft ground for medallion-like crests, rosettes, and botanical devices that drift across the surface in an open lattice. Dusty pink, blush, peach, and warm tan lend the design a gentle warmth, while navy blue accents draw crisp definition around the larger floral forms. The pattern never feels rigid; instead, it moves with the painterly irregularity of a well-aged antique carpet, allowing each motif to breathe within the composition.

A narrow border frames the field without overpowering it, reinforcing the rug’s airy balance and understated elegance. With its floral and botanical vocabulary, muted palette, and authentic patina, this vintage-inspired Indian carpet works beautifully in layered interiors, where antique rugs are valued for both their softness and their sense of history.

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.
