Antique Indian Amritsar rug, Country of Origin: India, Circa Date: Turn of the 20th Century – Here is a beautifully woven and compelling antique Oriental rug – that was hand woven in India around the turn of the twentieth century. Characterized by an impressive and meticulously woven composition, this appealing creation is a wonderful example of the Amritsar style of carpet design and weaving. An elegant design of palmettes and arabesque vine-scrolls floats gracefully across the field of this stately antique Amritsar.
The central arabesque in salmon functions as a latent medallion, anchoring the sinuous floral elements that radiate outward to the four corners of the field. A rich palmette vine-scroll main border encloses the field, but set against a rose-salmon ground for a subtle framing contrast. While the design of the carpet adheres closely to classical Persian models, the soft, delicate palette makes this an eminently decorative carpet. A beautifully woven example that speaks to the enduring appeal of antique Indian carpets, this antique Amritsar is a comely and exciting rug that is sure to enhance any interior space.
