Antique Indian Amritsar Rug, Country Of Origin: India, Circa Date: 1900 – provides the point of departure for this elegant and reserved antique Indian Amritsar carpet. A grand medallion and corner-pieces emitting jutting vines and palmettes dominates the field, with the bold angular drawing comparable to the best . But unlike the Persian carpets with such designs, this carpet does not apply a vibrant palette of reds, blues and greens. Rather, it displays a subdued palette of gentle mauve, cocoa, tan, and gold in field and border alike, which makes it a first-rate decorative carpet.
