About the Item

Made with hand-knotted circa 1910–1920, this 9x13 antique Indian rug is a rare and distinguished acquisition from the new unveilings in Rug Kilim’s collection of the most exceptional and unusual pieces of celebrated provenance. This piece is a highly collectible example of an unusual provenance—specifically an Amritsar rug from India that masterfully blends traditional Eastern weaving with unique Western-inspired motifs. On the Design: This magnificent antique rug is a profound tapestry, weaving together a history told in saturated jewel tones and rare architectural forms. The field features a beige-brown open field, which provides a dramatic and serene stage for the complex artistry of the perimeter. Most notable is the rug's border design, which appears to be directly inspired by Egyptian architectural sensibilities. Admirers of the craft will appreciate the "saturated, delicious jewel tones" of pink, red, blue, and gold that flourish within the many floral and geometric patterns. These vibrant hues are layered into intricate borders that create a remarkable sense of movement and depth. This piece is particularly collectible for its atypical elements, which are combined in a regal manner rarely seen in early 20th-century Indian weaving. Softened by a century of wear, the palette lends the rug a glowing quality that adds warmth and character to any high-end interior. It is an intentional and poetic contribution to the legacy of Amritsar artistry, where decorative refinement meets the enduring craftsmanship. Condition: This antique Amritsar rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.

Vintage Turkish Rug in Beige-Brown, with Saf Mihrab Patterns, from Rug Kilim
Located in Long Island City, NY
Hand-knotted in wool, this 4x8 vintage Turkish rug is from that collection of mid-century rugs with antique washes giving them that old-world, almost distressed look to them. On the Design: Connoisseurs will admire this personal vintage piece as inspired by Oriental Saf rugs, meant to catch the eye, yet still so atypical in its color and design choices that are so complementary to each other making it a comfortable, and inviting piece. It’s equally collectible for being a rug like few of this Mihrab style and versatile size alike. Keen eyes may further admire a field of beige-brown and especially present blue and green tones underscore a Mihrab pattern inspired by Saf rugs, or “prayer rug” representing the gateway to paradise. The Mihrab’s negative space further draws the eye to admire this rug’s archaic charm and its natural play with the texture. To achieve such a submersive, complementary look in this unique way is an exemplary trait in this design—with limitless interior design applications today.
