Indian Antique Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB6263 11'9" × 25'5" $130,000

This antique Indian hand-knotted wool rug, woven circa 1920, reflects North Indian workshop traditions filtered through Kashan and Oushak inspiration. Its elongated format and softened surface recall room-size carpets made for refined interiors, while the timeworn palette gives the piece the quiet authority of an early twentieth-century antique.

The soft beige field is covered with an allover botanical scatter of small blossoms, leafy vines, and repeated vase-like crest motifs. The drawing is deliberately subdued, so dusty rose, taupe, lavender, and muted moss appear as delicate accents rather than bold contrasts. The result is a painterly floral ground with depth, movement, and a graceful, lived-in patina.

A disciplined floral border and narrow guard lines frame the composition, preserving structure while letting the main field read as continuous and airy. Elegant but restrained, this antique Indian rug works beautifully in traditional, transitional, or layered contemporary rooms, where its calm pattern can soften architecture and enrich the floor with heritage.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
