About the Item
Oversized Antique Indian Amritsar Rug
Size: 15'2" × 16'3" (462 × 495 cm)
This oversized antique Amritsar carpet, woven around 1900, is a remarkable testament to the refined artistry of Indian rug weaving during the colonial period. Created in the historic city of Amritsar in northern India, this grand carpet blends Persian aesthetic sensibilities with Indian floral elegance, producing a truly majestic and dignified floor covering of significant scale and subtle sophistication.
At its heart lies a beautifully restrained medallion-and-corner design, floating within a spacious field of interconnected floral sprays, leafy vines, and palmettes. The drawing is curvilinear and classically Mughal, yet softened by the Indian interpretation, which lends the entire composition a lyrical, painterly quality. The overall design is symmetrical and cohesive, but not rigid—there's a flowing, organic grace to the way the floral motifs unfurl across the surface.
The color palette is especially elegant. Warm shades of rosy mauve, walnut brown, dusty apricot, and beige create an aged patina that is both earthy and romantic. These muted tones, enhanced by years of natural wear and sun-fading, provide a beautifully understated backdrop for sophisticated interiors.
A wide border encircles the field, featuring classical floral motifs and rosettes enclosed within delicate vinery. This framework provides both visual structure and a subtle counterpoint to the softer inner design. The craftsmanship and intricacy of the border motifs reinforce the excellence of the weaving.
Amritsar carpets from the late 19th and early 20th centuries were often custom-woven for British aristocracy and Indian nobility. Known for their luxurious wool and highly refined workmanship, these rugs adapted Persian motifs with a distinct Indian sensibility, resulting in textiles that were elegant, restrained, and richly evocative.
The wool used in this rug is of high quality, offering a soft luster that complements the palette’s muted richness. The weave density, detail of the drawing, and balance of design suggest the work of a master workshop.
Rich in cultural legacy and artistic beauty, this oversized Amritsar rug brings quiet grandeur to any large space. Its softened hues, refined floral detailing, and monumental scale make it ideal for formal living areas, galleries, historic estates, or grand libraries. A poetic reminder of India’s regal textile heritage, this piece is both a collector’s treasure and a decorator’s dream.
This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a wide range of prices, including this beautifully crafted modern rug that brings elegance and quality to interiors at an accessible value.
