Rendered in a palette of muted gold, taupe, sand, and subtle brown tones, the rug features an all-over floral design influenced by traditional Persian motifs, yet interpreted with Indian sensibility and finesse.

The dense and symmetrical field is filled with an intricate lattice of stylized flowers, vinery, and palmettes, all outlined in warm neutral tones that enhance the sense of depth and texture. The harmonious color gradation lends the piece a timeworn patina, highlighting the craftsmanship and age of the rug while preserving its dignified elegance.

Framed by a wide and ornate border with repeating botanical and rosette motifs, this Amritsar rug showcases detailed corner work and multiple guard stripes, adding visual interest and definition. The weave is tight and consistent, indicating a high-quality knotting technique and a substantial wool foundation typical of Indian carpets from this period.

Perfect for a formal living space, library, or grand interior, this oversized antique rug brings a sophisticated, understated luxury and cultural depth to any setting.
