About the Item
Late 19th Century Indian Amritsar Carpet ( 11' x 17' - 335 x 518 )
weaving centers of Amritsar, India, which specialized in producing high-quality carpets for the export market. As a superb example of antique rugs, its design reflects the sophisticated taste of the era, borrowing heavily from classical Persian motifs while maintaining a distinctly colonial aesthetic.
The field is dominated by an intricate, repeating allover pattern of stylized palmettes, scrolling arabesques, and delicate floral sprays. The impressive scale of this piece means it is classified as a large oversized rug, perfectly suited for grand drawing rooms or formal dining spaces where its expansive presence can be fully appreciated.
The restrained color palette is perhaps the rug’s most defining characteristic. Subtle shades of ochre, soft gold, and muted olive green are meticulously layered upon a luminous ground. The overall effect is a harmonious blend of ivory beige cream tones, ensuring the rug complements rather than dominates a refined interior setting.
A series of finely drawn borders frames the main field, echoing the complexity of the central design with minor guard stripes featuring geometric and stylized vine motifs. The wool quality and knot density confirm the high level of craftsmanship expected from Amritsar workshops during the British Raj period, offering a lasting piece of textile history.
