About the Item
Oversized Antique Indian Amritsar Rug
Size: 14'3" × 18'8" (434 × 568 cm)
This magnificent Oversized Antique Indian Amritsar rug, crafted around 1900, embodies the grandeur and refinement of India's rich textile traditions. Woven in the legendary weaving centers of Amritsar, this remarkable carpet reflects the high-caliber artistry fostered during the British Raj, when Indian workshops began producing bespoke pieces for Western aristocracy.
Measuring on a grand scale, the rug showcases a sophisticated interplay of warm golden wheat, camel, taupe, and soft amber tones balanced by subtle cocoa and ivory outlines. Its intricate all-over floral medallion field is organized around a large, symmetrical central octagonal medallion, flanked by detailed palmettes, blossoming vines, rosettes, and stylized leaves. The botanical motifs are harmoniously integrated into the open field, which is animated with soft abrash and gentle tonal variation.
The borders are masterfully designed, featuring scrolling floral garlands and cartouche-like elements, rendered in contrasting shades of dark brown and golden beige. The guard borders feature meandering floral tendrils, framing the main border and field with a sense of movement and continuity.
Closer inspection reveals endearing animal motifs—including lions, camels, deer, and mythical creatures—elegantly nestled among the foliage, subtly paying homage to classical Persian hunting rugs while adding a whimsical touch unique to Indian weavings.
The rug’s pile is lush and luminous, likely woven from high-quality Manchester wool, known for its durability and soft sheen. Time has softened the palette and enhanced the rug’s patina, giving it a mellow, inviting character that is both historic and timeless.
Whether placed in a stately library, a formal dining room, or an expansive living space, this Amritsar carpet offers elegance, scale, and cultural richness. A true collectible, it serves not only as a floor covering but as a living artwork—steeped in history, exceptional in craftsmanship, and quietly majestic in presence.
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.
