About the Item
Oversized Antique North Indian Rug
Size: 14'0" × 24'3" (426 × 739 cm).
This magnificent oversized antique North Indian rug from the turn of the 20th century is a masterful example of Mughal-inspired artistry, embodying both opulence and restraint through its refined design and sophisticated color palette.
At first glance, the rug stuns with its spacious layout and soft abrashed tones of beige and muted indigo. The field is sparsely decorated with meandering floral sprays, blossoming shrubs, and delicate palmettes, all rendered in a painterly, almost calligraphic style. This minimalist treatment of the field—an intentional departure from denser Persian designs—allows each floral element to breathe, emphasizing elegance and balance over intricacy.
The medallion-less layout furthers the rug’s open, tranquil appearance, evoking a subtle rhythm reminiscent of a Mughal garden in spring. Its symmetrical arrangement across the field, with vines and botanical motifs extending gracefully in all directions, reveals a high degree of artistic discipline. Each blossom and vine seems to float across the surface, giving the composition an airy and contemplative quality.
Framing the central field is a deeply saturated navy border adorned with stylized rosettes and palmettes. This darker perimeter provides just the right contrast to anchor the composition without overwhelming its delicacy. Multiple minor borders—thin, ribbon-like bands of linked floral and geometric motifs—complete the ensemble, showcasing a masterful understanding of proportion and visual pacing.
This rug is woven with high-quality wool, imbuing it with a luxurious texture and sheen. Its muted palette of sand, taupe, and indigo has aged gracefully, bearing a beautiful patina that enhances its antique character.
Whether displayed in a grand salon, library, or formal dining room, this antique North Indian rug is not merely a furnishing—it is a statement of cultivated taste, historical depth, and enduring beauty.
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.
