About the Item

Large Antique Indian Amritsar Rug, circa 1880 Size: 14'0" × 18'4" (426 × 558 cm) This splendid antique Amritsar rug from the late 19th century exemplifies the exceptional craftsmanship of North Indian weavers, known for adapting Persian design motifs into distinctively soft and decorative palettes suited for the Western taste of the time. Woven around 1880, this generously sized rug showcases the refined artistry and technical prowess that made Amritsar carpets highly sought-after by European and American collectors. The rug’s composition centers on a field of saturated cerulean blue, a rare and captivating choice, offering a vibrant yet serene backdrop for the richly stylized botanical forms. Oversized palmettes, leafy vines, and dramatic serrated floral motifs sprawl symmetrically across the surface, rendered in soft neutrals—ebony, ivory, taupe, and garnet red—each highlighted with just enough contrast to create visual depth without overpowering the whole. Delicate vinery connects the floral elements in a rhythmic lattice, imbuing the field with graceful movement. The wide border frames the composition with alternating cartouches and floral sprays in a classic Herati-like configuration, reinforcing the Persian inspiration while remaining distinctively Indian in execution. Subtle abrashed areas within the blue ground add character and hint at the rug’s age, enhancing its antique charm. Hand-knotted in a dense wool pile, this Amritsar rug is both durable and luxuriously soft underfoot. Its refined palette and elegant layout make it a versatile and timeless foundation for traditional, transitional, or eclectic interiors. Whether displayed in a grand living room, library, or gallery-like hall, this antique rug brings a sense of history, luxury, and visual harmony that transcends trend or fashion. A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship.

Located in Barrington, IL

This exquisite 19th-century Indian Agra rug is a rare and striking example of refined craftsmanship and historic design. Hand-knotted in the late 1800s, the rug features an allover garden motif—a hallmark of classical Agra weaving inspired by the royal Mughal courts. The luminous saffron yellow field is adorned with delicately rendered birds, branches, and floral elements in French blue, rose pink, deep red, sage green, ivory, and warm brown. The composition evokes the serene beauty of a Persian-style “Chahar Bagh” (four-part garden), symbolizing paradise on earth. Its abrash green border showcases natural tonal variations that enhance the rug’s sense of depth and movement. A masterful combination of color and detail, this piece offers timeless elegance. Dimensions: 11’ 6″ x 17’ Date of Manufacture: 4th Quarter of the 1800s Place of...
