Antique Indian Amritsar Rug - 16'0'' X 9'0''
About the Item
During the period of Colonial rule over India, Amritsar rugs began to reflect Western influences in their design. The craftspeople of Northern India took their chance to profit from the ever-increasing demand for exotic carpets by Queen Victoria. It was after the Great Exhibition in 1851 in the Queen’s Crystal Palace that the wonders of the Oriental lands were brought to the world’s attention.
London took easily to the wildly different and exotic, yet oddly familiar patterns that Amritsar rugs offered. Oriental rugs made the United Kingdom even wealthier than before, and the popularity of exotic artwork was on an uptick. Amritsar rugs reflected British influence in India while still retaining elements of surprise and mystery.
Amritsar rugs center on plant-like motifs that swirl and curve into elegant designs. Rugs are made from materials of only the highest quality. Designed with the British, Americans, and Canadians in mind, Amritsar rugs feature a toned-down earthy palette with burgundy hints that don’t overwhelm the eyes. These rugs are far more modest and much less boastful than oriental rugs woven in bright reds and rich purples. This muted look caught the eyes of London collectors and lead to the popularization of the Amritsar rugs.
The popularity of Amritsar rugs is still unceasing. The Western influence on these Indian carpets leaves these rugs under the intense admiration and adoration of art critics and knowledgeable historians to this day. Their reputation lends to their collectability and desirability. Amritsar rugs don’t seem to be exiting the world stage any time soon.
