Hand-knotted with exceptional craftsmanship, the rug features a lush, symmetrical latticework of stylized rosettes and palmettes, enclosed within delicately scrolled vinery. The field is anchored by a rich midnight blue background, which creates striking contrast with the soft ivory, crimson, jade green, and celadon tones that bring the floral motifs to life.

Each floral medallion is meticulously outlined and thoughtfully spaced to maintain rhythm and clarity, forming a seamless allover pattern that adds both harmony and complexity to the design. The bold crimson border, embellished with complementary floral rosettes and angular vinework, frames the composition with regal definition.

True to the Amritsar weaving tradition, the rug prioritizes aesthetic harmony over strict symmetry, showcasing Persian-inspired motifs infused with a distinctly Indian sensibility. The wool pile is luxuriously soft and luminous, enhancing the rug’s tactile and visual appeal.

Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike. See less
