Indian Antique Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1930 BB7559 11'6" × 17'10" $80,000

This antique Indian hand-knotted wool carpet, woven circa 1930, reflects the refined weaving traditions of India in a large, elegantly composed format. Its open layout gives the piece a quiet presence, allowing the design to read with softness rather than density.

A warm tan field provides the backdrop for scattered botanical sprays, delicate vine tendrils, and crest-like floral motifs worked in muted teal and blue-green tones. The motifs appear lightly dispersed across the surface, creating an airy rhythm that feels classical without becoming formal or heavy. Subtle wear has softened the contrast, adding to the rug’s antique character.

The border is more structured, with a layered framing system that includes a Greek key-inspired inner band, a dotted surround, and an outer floral guard border. Hand-knotted in wool, the carpet balances ornament and restraint, making it an appealing choice for interiors that call for historic detail, calm color, and an architectural sense of order.

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.
