About the Item

Oversized Antique Indian Rug (size adjusted) Size: 14'8" × 26'0" (447 × 792 cm) This exquisite oversized antique Indian rug, dating back to the 1920s, is a remarkable representation of the fine artistry that emerged from colonial India’s master weavers. Inspired by Persian aesthetics yet filtered through a distinct Indian sensibility, the rug exudes a graceful sense of refinement and quiet grandeur. At the heart of this piece is a delicately balanced, mirror-image layout centered along a vertical axis. Softly scrolling vines and botanical motifs—rendered in graceful, organic curves—form a spacious composition across a muted beige-terracotta field. These gently flowing patterns include stylized lotuses, palmettes, rosettes, and curling saz leaves, executed with an intentionally light and airy hand, making the rug feel open and serene despite its size. The palette is a warm blend of soft peachy-beige, muted greens, gentle navy blues, and floral accents in faded crimson and rosewood. The subdued tonality evokes a vintage patina that enhances its antique charm and lends a calming ambiance to any interior. A harmonious series of framing borders complements the central field, with a wide outer border featuring elegant cartouches and floral sprays. The secondary borders introduce narrow bands of vine-scroll and stylized blossoms on a mellow olive ground, bordered further by fine guard stripes with a delicate crimson accent. This well-balanced framing structure subtly contains the open central field without overwhelming it. Woven by hand from high-quality wool, this rug speaks to the technical mastery and artistic nuance typical of Indian carpets produced in the early 20th century under the Mughal and colonial influence. Its exceptional size and balanced design make it ideal for grand spaces requiring understated luxury. This rug has aged with grace. Though it shows minor wear consistent with its age—including faint abrasions and scattered pile thinning—it retains excellent structural integrity and a soft handle, making it both a decorative and functional heirloom. 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.
