About the Item

Oversized Antique North Indian Rug Size: 21'0" × 26'0" (640 × 792 cm) This exquisite oversized antique North Indian rug from the early 20th century is a testament to the luxurious craftsmanship of the Mughal-inspired textile tradition. Rendered in a rare and luminous tonal palette of varying blues—from deep indigo to powdery sky—the rug is both grand in scale and sophisticated in execution. The design features a majestic all-over “Tree of Life” motif, repeated in rhythmic vertical columns. Each tree is finely detailed with layered leafy canopies and intricate blossoms, symbolizing abundance, spiritual growth, and continuity. The botanical elements, paired with delicate floral sprays, create a sense of movement and harmony throughout the field. Encasing the lush central composition is a wide border adorned with alternating cartouches and palmettes, interspersed with flowing vines and rosettes. These decorative elements are gracefully rendered in deeper shades of blue, which contrast elegantly with the slightly lighter field, giving the rug a sense of refined depth. Woven by hand in North India, likely in the region of Amritsar, this rug reflects both Persian design influence and colonial-era refinement. The craftsmanship is evident in the tight weave and the luminous wool pile, which has aged with grace, showing a gentle patina that enhances the carpet's antique charm. With its monumental size and serene color palette, this piece would make a powerful statement in a grand interior—whether classic, transitional, or contemporary. It is more than a floor covering; it is a work of art that carries the legacy of an opulent and artistic tradition. 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.
