About the Item
Oversized Antique Indian Carpet
Size: 15'5" x 18'8" (469 x 568 cm)
An exquisite relic of 19th-century craftsmanship, this oversized antique Indian rug from the 1880s is a testament to the opulence and finesse of Mughal-inspired textile design. Handwoven with meticulous attention to detail, the rug features a richly layered botanical motif set against a subtly patinated ivory ground that reflects the graceful passage of time.
The all-over pattern is a lively, masterfully orchestrated garden scene bursting with stylized palmettes, flowering vines, serrated leaves, and sinuous stems. Its dynamic symmetry and rhythmic composition evoke the influence of Persian Safavid court carpets—yet the palette is distinctly Indian, brimming with soft brick reds, sapphire blues, celadon greens, and golden ochres. These tones, though aged, retain remarkable vibrancy and depth, lending the piece a timeless nobility.
The design is enclosed within a bold, multi-stripe border adorned with floral arabesques, creating a well-framed tableau that draws the eye inward. The complexity and density of the motif speak to a high-knot count and skilled weaver’s hand, indicative of luxury commissions likely intended for palatial interiors.
At over 21 feet long and 17 feet wide, this rug's scale makes it an extraordinary centerpiece for grand rooms. The patina and wear visible across the surface do not detract from its beauty—instead, they enhance its authenticity and historical allure, imbuing the piece with the character of a well-traveled heirloom.
Whether placed in a traditional or eclectic setting, this antique Indian carpet radiates elegance, warmth, and cultural richness—a rare and noble artifact of India's storied weaving heritage.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. 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.
