Antique Indian Rug, Origin: India, Circa: First Quarter of the 20th Century – Sumptuous and sophisticated, this archetypal antique Indian carpet displays a superb large-scale arabesque rendered in strong, earthy colors that have an aristocratic air. Boldly colored main borders adorned with undulating calyces and delicate botanical decorations frame the creamy white field along with highly ornamental inner borders and restrained outer borders filled with charming flower-laden vine scrolls. The posh ivory ground is adorned with a scrolling blanket of millefleur branches that spiral across the composition while artfully changing their color and form. Dramatic large-scale palmettes emblazon the softly colored field while showcasing an assortment of serpentine leaflets, crisply outlined rosettes and bold botanical decorations that have a sensuous curvilinear style. This distinguished antique Indian carpet embraces a regal model of elegance reinforced by the well-formed decorations, sophisticated colors and beautifully executed details that exaggerate the beauty of each motif.
