About the Item

Amritsar carpets come from the city of Amritsar in the Punjab region of India. Production began in the late 19th century during the British colonial period to cater to Western markets. Often influenced by Persian and Mughal aesthetics. Designs are typically floral or curvilinear, featuring medallions, intricate vines, and arabesques. Colors are softer and more subdued, with earthy tones like ivory, beige, light blues, and golds. Crafted from high-quality wool, sometimes with silk highlights. Knots are typically asymmetrical, and the pile is lush. These carpets are hand-knotted with a lower knot density compared to Persian carpets but maintain exquisite detail. Highly valued for their decorative versatility, particularly in modern and Western interiors. Amritsar carpets often have a more relaxed and contemporary aesthetic compared to other Indian carpets.
