About the Item

Oversized 1920s Indian Amritsar Rug Size: 14'10" × 17'4" (452 × 528 cm) This exquisite oversized Indian Amritsar rug from the 1920s epitomizes the elegance and refined craftsmanship of Northern Indian weaving traditions. Woven in the renowned city of Amritsar during the British colonial period, the rug showcases a graceful balance of scale, palette, and detail — qualities that made these carpets highly sought after by Western connoisseurs. The rug features a delicate all-over botanical lattice design rendered in a subdued, tonal palette of beige, cream, and soft sand. The understated coloration allows the intricacy of the design to reveal itself gradually, rewarding close viewing with subtle floral motifs, stylized palmettes, and scrolling vinery arranged within a loose trellis structure. The spacious patterning and use of negative space contribute to a sense of calm sophistication, making this rug especially well-suited to large, elegant interiors. Crafted from high-quality wool, the rug’s surface has developed a gentle patina over time, giving it a beautifully aged, almost ethereal quality. The pile has been evenly sheared to a low, refined texture, enhancing its antique character while retaining its structural integrity. Measuring an impressive 14'10" × 17'4", this piece is an excellent example of Amritsar’s large-scale workshop production at its artistic peak. Its restrained, almost monochromatic aesthetic reflects the influence of European tastes on Indian textile art during the early 20th century. This antique Amritsar carpet is not only a work of decorative art but also a testament to the cultural crosscurrents of its era. It offers a timeless foundation for both traditional and contemporary interiors. 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.
