About the Item
Oversized Antique North Indian Rug
Size: 14'0" x 24'8" (426 × 751 cm)
This magnificent antique North Indian rug, dating back to the 1920s, is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship and elegance. Its majestic size and meticulous detail reflect the opulence and grandeur associated with palace carpets of the Mughal court tradition.
Handwoven in the storied weaving centers of North India, this rug exemplifies the artistry and refined sensibilities of early 20th-century Indian textile production. The composition is dominated by a mesmerizing “Tree of Life” pattern, symmetrically rendered and enriched with intricate florals, foliage, birds, and delicate wildlife figures. These naturalistic motifs are subtly interwoven across the expanse of the carpet, creating a lyrical, almost narrative quality.
The field is bathed in a warm, golden-sand ground that glows with age, softened by time yet still vividly displaying tones of soft celadon green, gentle indigo, pale peach, and ivory. The floral ornamentation dances lightly across the surface, giving the piece a painterly elegance, while the border features a scrolling vine motif that frames the central pattern in gentle contrast.
Woven with exceptional wool and natural dyes, the rug retains a lush texture and depth, enhanced by its age-worn patina. Despite some expected wear and subtle abrash, it remains a striking and collectible example of Indian textile art.
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.
