Doris Leslie Blau Authentic 19th Century Indian Amritsar Botanic Rug

About the Item

Authentic 19th century Indian Amritsar Botanic Pink Blue Green Wool Rug Size: 10'0" × 12'6" (304 × 381 cm) This exquisite 19th-century Indian Amritsar rug showcases the elegance and artistic richness that define the best of Indian carpet weaving traditions. Originating from the famed weaving center of Amritsar, located in the northern Punjab region, this rug is a true representation of the opulent style cultivated under the influence of Mughal and Persian aesthetics, adapted to British colonial tastes of the time. The central field is lavishly adorned with a complex floral and vine-scroll design, arranged symmetrically around a subtle medallion. Flowing arabesques in rose-pink and sage green undulate across a soft ivory and muted sky-blue background, forming a lyrical composition that is both ornate and balanced. Interspersed within the vegetal motifs are stylized leaping animals—likely cheetahs or panthers—beautifully rendered in ivory with spotted coats, adding a dynamic and exotic touch to the serene botanical theme. The border is equally intricate, featuring a continuous floral meander punctuated by palmettes and rosettes in deep burgundy, indigo, and blush tones. This wide border frames the central field with a strong yet elegant presence, completing the composition with regal symmetry. The color scheme is a masterclass in muted luxury. The use of pastel pinks, celadon greens, soft creams, and faded blues, contrasted by richer accents of wine red, navy, and espresso, gives the rug an antique patina and a sophisticated, timeless allure. Hand-knotted from fine wool, the rug offers a dense pile and a soft, luxurious texture underfoot. Indian Amritsar rugs of this era are known for their exceptionally high knot counts and meticulous craftsmanship, often rivaling their Persian counterparts in both quality and artistry. As part of the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, a brand celebrated for its dedication to quality and design heritage, this rug exemplifies their commitment to originality and artisanry. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
