Woven circa 1900, the piece features a sprawling allover pattern of stylized palmettes, rosettes, and intricate floral vinery, meticulously arranged in a symmetrical, medallion-like formation that subtly radiates from the center outward.

What distinguishes this carpet is its luminous, ethereal color palette—muted celadon blues, soft ivory, and touches of lavender and beige blend into a gentle ground of dusty rose, lending the composition an almost watercolor-like quality. The border frames the field with rhythmic floral motifs in cool tones, providing structure and visual balance without overpowering the delicate interior.

Crafted from high-quality wool and hand-knotted with great precision, this rug exemplifies both durability and grace. Its generous dimensions make it ideal for large formal spaces, where it can serve as a harmonious anchor to both traditional and contemporary interiors.

A true testament to North Indian textile artistry, this antique rug speaks with quiet sophistication and timeless beauty.
