About the Item
1880s Antique Oversized Indian Amritsar Rug
Size: 14'6" × 17'7" (441 × 535 cm)
This exquisite oversized Indian Amritsar rug, dating back to the 1880s, exemplifies the elegance and artisanal mastery of the renowned Amritsar weaving tradition. Woven during the height of British colonial influence in India, this majestic carpet reflects the aesthetic fusion of traditional Indian artistry with subtle European decorative sensibilities.
Rendered in a softly muted palette of warm ivory, faded rose, beige, and dusty gold, the rug’s overall impression is both ethereal and refined. The central field is adorned with sprawling, stylized botanical motifs—florals, palmettes, and curling vinery—executed with an understated finesse that evokes a sense of graceful movement. The artistry lies not in sharp contrast, but in its sophisticated tonal transitions, which create a ghostly, almost watercolor-like visual effect.
Framing the field is a series of harmoniously integrated borders featuring floral garlands, cloud bands, and gentle scrolling patterns. These motifs are skillfully articulated to blend seamlessly with the faded central field, contributing to the rug’s overall softness and antique patina.
Crafted from high-quality, hand-spun wool, the rug’s texture is lush and pliant underfoot, while the weave density reflects the skill and patience of its creators. The carpet’s muted color scheme and grand scale make it ideal for elegant interiors, where its quiet beauty can complement both traditional and modern décors.
This rare antique Amritsar from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection is not merely a floor covering but a piece of woven history—testament to India’s rich textile heritage and a collector’s treasure of enduring charm.
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.
