About the Item
Oversized Antique Indian Amritsar Rug
Size: 20'3" × 21'0" (617 × 640 cm).
This breathtaking oversized antique Amritsar rug is a testament to the refinement and elegance of late 19th-century Indian weaving, particularly those produced in the historic city of Amritsar during the British Raj period. Known for catering to the tastes of the Western aristocracy, Amritsar rugs from this era stand apart for their luxurious materials, sophisticated color palettes, and exceptional craftsmanship—and this piece is a quintessential example.
The field of the carpet is adorned with an intricately woven allover lattice of floral palmettes and stylized leaves, interlinked by scrolling vinery and delicate rosettes. The pattern forms a symmetrical, garden-like grid—echoing Persian design but rendered with a distinctive Indian hand, softening the rigidity of geometry into something more lyrical and flowing.
The color palette is remarkably harmonious, dominated by warm ochre, soft rust, and gentle beige tones. These colors are masterfully faded with age, giving the rug a serene and regal patina. The overall effect is warm, glowing, and timeless, ideal for anchoring large-scale rooms with elegance and subtlety.
The border frames the rug with a lighter tonal treatment and simplified floral motifs, gently offsetting the more intricate field. The corner spandrels feature tasteful embellishments, ensuring a seamless transition from field to frame.
Crafted from high-quality, lustrous wool, this rug boasts an extremely fine weave, a hallmark of elite Amritsar workshops. Unlike mass-produced textiles of the period, this rug was likely commissioned for a grand colonial estate or palace interior, intended to harmonize with refined furnishings and architectural detail.
Amritsar rugs of this caliber draw heavily from Persian courtly traditions while incorporating local Indian aesthetics, creating a distinct visual vocabulary that feels both classic and unique. The symmetry, rhythmic repetition, and botanical themes suggest a meditative elegance, evoking the tranquil opulence of Mughal gardens and Indo-Islamic architectural decoration.
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.
