Indian Antique Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7730 11'8" × 14'8" $32,000

Hand-knotted in India circa 1920, this antique wool rug belongs to the country’s celebrated floral carpet tradition. Its room-size format and allover arrangement give it the presence of a formal antique Indian carpet while keeping the composition relaxed enough for contemporary interiors.

Instead of a central medallion, the field unfolds as a dense lattice of blossoms, foliate tendrils, and trellis-like links, repeating across a warm brick-red ground. Soft beige, ivory, pale blue, olive, and flashes of navy and coral animate the surface, lending the design a layered, botanical richness without overwhelming the eye.

A midnight-blue border frames the composition with floral sprays and scrolling vines, sharpening the contrast and reinforcing the rug’s architectural clarity. The interplay of color and pattern gives this antique Indian carpet a versatile character: decorative enough to enrich a formal sitting room, yet calm and grounded enough to anchor everyday furnishings.

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. DLB offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, welcoming collectors and designers at every level.
