About the Item

Oversized Antique Indian Amritsar Rug Size: 19'2" × 21'10" (584 × 665 cm) testament to the refined artistry and design sensibilities of the Amritsar weaving tradition. Originating from the cultural heart of the Punjab region, Amritsar rugs are celebrated for their spacious compositions and uniquely Indo-Persian aesthetics—a synthesis of Mughal elegance and English decorative taste, often made for the Western export market. The rug's central medallion design is suspended on a serene, open ivory-beige field, radiating a tranquil balance between bold geometry and delicate botanical ornamentation. The medallion itself—an intricate eight-pointed star—features stylized floral sprays, scrolling vinery, and symbolic motifs in soft saffron, pomegranate red, terra cotta, and burnt orange tones. These warm hues are mirrored in the decorative accents and border details, producing visual harmony across the expansive composition. One of the most notable aspects of this piece is its exquisite use of negative space, which allows the intricately rendered forms to breathe and speak. The medallion and field are framed by a striking corner-spandrel arrangement and surrounded by a richly ornamented border adorned with palmettes, serrated leaves, and flowering vines—elements that nod to traditional Mughal gardens while embracing Victorian-era stylization. Crafted from soft, high-grade wool, the rug possesses a supple handle and a luminous surface that speaks to its quality and careful preservation over nearly 150 years. Despite its age, the rug retains a strong clarity of design and a balanced palette, making it an extraordinary decorative statement for today’s interiors—from classic and traditional to refined contemporary spaces. This Antique Amritsar carpet is more than a floor covering—it's a piece of textile art, a storied heirloom, and a masterful example of 19th-century Indian rug craftsmanship. Its monumental scale, muted sophistication, and exceptional composition render it a prized acquisition for collectors, designers, and connoisseurs alike. 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.
