Indian Antique Allover Oversized Light Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7218 15'7" × 23'2" $160,000

This antique Indian hand-knotted wool rug, woven circa 1920, brings early-20th-century regional craftsmanship into a calm, decorative language. Its oversized format and softened palette make it especially appealing for rooms that need presence without visual noise.

The design unfolds as an allover botanical trellis, with a quiet lattice of floral forms drifting across a light gray field. Time has blurred the drawing into a washed, atmospheric surface, while faded blue, soft beige, and taupe accents emerge in layered bands and fragments, giving the composition a gentle sense of movement.

A restrained border frames the field with the same subdued elegance, allowing the pattern to read as tonal and textural rather than busy. This antique Indian rug has the character of a textile that has been lived with and refined by age, making it well suited to transitional interiors, formal settings, and relaxed contemporary spaces alike.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
