About the Item
Oversized Antique Indian Rug
Size: 14'9" x 21'0" (449 x 640 cm)
This oversized antique Indian rug, dating to the 1920s, stands as a remarkable example of Indian craftsmanship rooted in Mughal-era textile traditions. With its grand scale and elegant detailing, the piece reflects the artistic refinement of carpets woven for royal courts and stately interiors.
The field of the rug is dominated by a sophisticated curvilinear lattice formed by intertwining vines and palmettes, which gently guide the eye across an all-over pattern of stylized botanical motifs. Soft, meandering floral sprays and arabesques are arranged in a mirrored, almost symmetrical fashion that highlights the influence of classical Persian rug aesthetics, particularly those from Kerman and Tabriz, reinterpreted through an Indian lens.
Rendered in a graceful palette of muted sand, camel, celadon green, pale slate, and faded coral, the design is both understated and richly atmospheric. The colors, gently worn with time, lend the rug a refined patina that enhances its antique character and timeless beauty. This subtle coloration makes the piece especially versatile for both traditional and transitional interior schemes.
The wide borders complement the central field with a similarly detailed botanical theme—floral garlands, rosettes, and leafy tendrils—all framed within layered guard bands that offer a sense of structural balance to the expansive composition.
Hand-knotted in wool with exceptional attention to detail, this Indian rug exemplifies the technical mastery and aesthetic sensitivity of its time. Its luxurious scale and harmonious design make it a rare and desirable piece for collectors, decorators, or anyone seeking to anchor a grand space with understated elegance and historical authenticity.
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.
