About the Item
Oversized Antique North Indian Rug by Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 15'5" × 26'5" (469 × 805 cm)
A breathtaking example of 19th-century craftsmanship, this antique North Indian rug, dating back to the 1880s, presents a stunning and richly detailed composition. Spanning a generous 27' × 16', the rug features an elaborate all-over lattice pattern comprised of delicate rosettes, palmettes, and leafy vines set against a saturated midnight blue field.
The refined arrangement of floral motifs and the rhythmic precision of the geometric framework showcase the influence of classical Persian weaving, particularly reminiscent of the Safavid tradition. A series of intricately layered borders—ranging from narrow guard stripes to a dominant ivory main band filled with stylized floral trellises—enclose the field in an elegant architectural frame.
Executed in a superior-quality wool pile, the color palette includes a regal mix of indigo, carnelian red, saffron, ivory, and celadon green. These naturally dyed hues have aged with grace, further enhancing the rug’s patina and depth. Handwoven in India, this piece reflects the high standards of North Indian textile artistry during the British colonial era, when Mughal design aesthetics continued to influence decorative arts.
This antique carpet is not only a marvel of traditional craftsmanship but also a statement piece ideal for palatial interiors or sophisticated contemporary spaces seeking a touch of historic grandeur.
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.
