A late 19th-century Indian Amritsar carpet from around 1890, measuring approximately 335.5 × 579.3 cm (about 11’0″ × 19’0″). The composition pairs a yellow-toned floral field with a charcoal-toned border — a particularly bold and graphic color combination for an Amritsar of this scale and period.
Amritsar, in the Punjab region of northern India, was a major center of room-sized hand-knotted carpet production in the late 19th century, working from both Persian and classical Indian design vocabularies for the European and American export market.
Hand-knotted wool. Authentic one-of-a-kind antique.
