Opulent Indian Antique Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB9073 11'7" × 13'7" $32,000

This sophisticated antique Indian rug from the 1920s presents a masterful composition defined by refined geometry and a regal color palette. The field is rendered in a warm golden-tan hue, delicately adorned with a lattice of soft rose-colored floral garlands. Each diamond-shaped compartment formed by this trellis contains a singular, stylized flower motif in shades of ivory, blue, and soft green, imparting subtle rhythm and harmony across the entire surface.

The simplicity and elegance of the repeating pattern speak to an aesthetic that balances tradition with restraint—hallmarks of elite carpet weaving from India’s colonial period. The border offers a quiet contrast with a cream ground and scrolling floral vine, touched with notes of ochre, olive, and sapphire blue, framed by a thin, refined outer stripe.

Woven with high-grade wool and natural dyes, this rug maintains its vibrancy and suppleness even a century after its creation. Its architectural clarity and restrained florals reflect a Mughal-inspired influence, subtly reinterpreted for Western tastes during the early 20th century.

Ideal for both classic and contemporary interiors, this piece is not just a floor covering but a work of decorative art—timeless in design and elevated in craftsmanship.
