About the Item

Antique Indian Amritsar Botanical Wool Runner Size: 3'0" × 22'9" (91 × 693 cm) This exquisite antique runner from the famed weaving center of Amritsar, India, circa 1900, is a masterful embodiment of botanical artistry and timeless craftsmanship. Woven by hand using high-quality wool, the rug presents a mesmerizing interplay of earthy tones—rich mocha, faded terracotta, warm gold, and creamy ivory—that softly mellow with age and use, giving the piece a coveted patina. The runner showcases a flowing allover botanical design, densely populated with stylized palmettes, lotus rosettes, serrated leaves, and delicate vinery, creating an elegant and organic rhythm across its long format. These intricate floral motifs are rendered with remarkable clarity and finesse, accentuated by a subtle abrash that adds depth and texture to the surface. Framed by a series of refined borders—featuring a primary band of rosettes and serrated leaf motifs flanked by narrow guard borders—this runner speaks to the Persian-influenced design lexicon embraced by Indian artisans of the period. The symmetry and scale of the motifs, combined with the soft tonal palette, lend the runner a sophisticated versatility suitable for both traditional and contemporary interiors. A quintessential example of Amritsar weaving at the turn of the 20th century, this runner captures the essence of Indian textile artistry: graceful, grounded in tradition, yet endlessly adaptable. A prime example of the exclusive and varied Doris Leslie Blau designs, this rug brings luxury and character to any space. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
