Antique Amritsar, Origin: India, Circa: 1900 – This unusual, even unique antique Oriental rug — an impressive Amritsar rug made in India some time around the turn of the twentieth century — represents something different in the tradition in which was made. This piece features a design whose form and color are adapted from ancient Egyptian enamel work. Winged discs above and below with a lattice pattern of rosettes and lilies at the sides form the frame, all enclosing an open red field with a solitary floral cross. An example of the absolutely incredible — practically limitless — range of possibilities regarding the design and composition of antique Oriental rugs, this Amritsar piece is certainly without peer.
