About the Item
Monumental Antique North Indian Rug
Size: 14'5" × 21'5" (439 × 652 cm)
A captivating testament to the elegance of turn-of-the-century craftsmanship, this monumental antique North Indian rug—woven circa 1900—unfolds with botanical opulence and refined artistry. Measuring an impressive 14'5" × 21'5", this carpet was likely woven for a grand interior, exemplifying the luxurious taste and technical mastery of its era.
At the heart of the design is a graceful allover pattern of delicate flowering vines, arabesques, and meandering branches that unfurl across a warm, soft camel-toned field. Handwoven in a subtle palette of light blue, ivory, navy, and taupe, the composition echoes Persian design influences—particularly the iconic Millefleurs (thousand flowers) motif—but with a distinctly Indian interpretation that imbues the carpet with movement and charm.
Woven from high-quality wool, the pile bears the gentle wear of age, creating a nuanced, painterly texture that enhances the rug's antique character. A detailed border frames the field with undulating floral cartouches, rosettes, and interlaced vines, reinforcing the harmony and elegance of the design.
What distinguishes this rug beyond its sheer scale is the remarkable attention to detail: graceful birds are nestled within the foliage, subtly animated and charming, adding a touch of life and whimsy to the botanical serenity.
This antique North Indian carpet is more than a floor covering—it is a grand decorative statement, ideal for large formal settings, galleries, or historical interiors seeking a rare, beautifully aged textile with presence, provenance, and poetry.
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.
