About the Item
Oversized Antique North Indian Botanical Rug
Size: 17'8" × 23'8" (538 × 721 cm).
This exceptional oversized antique North Indian rug, dating from the 1920s, is a captivating example of the region’s refined textile artistry. Hand-knotted with remarkable precision, the rug embodies both elegance and serenity, featuring a soft palette of golden-beige and muted camel tones that gracefully mellow with age.
The design is a celebration of nature, rendered in a delicate, near-ethereal outline technique. Black-brown contour lines form an expansive garden scene filled with flowering branches, abstract buds, and whimsical birds—each motif arranged with poetic fluidity. This botanical symphony evokes the classical Indian "Tree of Life" imagery, yet it does so with an unusually light and airy touch that makes the composition feel open and expansive rather than dense.
Notably, the rug’s field flows uninterrupted by a central medallion, creating a seamless visual rhythm that further emphasizes its tranquil, contemplative mood. The scale of the design elements, coupled with the expansive dimensions, makes this piece ideal for anchoring large, open interiors where subtle elegance is paramount.
Woven from high-grade wool, the pile is luxuriously soft underfoot and retains a luminous sheen. Despite its age, the rug remains in admirable condition, a testament to the superior materials and craftsmanship that define North Indian weavings from this era.
Perfect for traditional or minimalist interiors alike, this antique North Indian rug is more than a floor covering—it’s a serene, storied canvas that brings a refined sense of history and organic beauty into any space.
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.
