Antique Deccani Indian Knotted Rug, Country of Origin: India, Circa Date: 1700s. This exceptional piece is a testament to the highly refined Indian weaving tradition established during the Mughal Empire. Its provenance in the Deccan region suggests a sophisticated court commission, utilizing the finest wool and natural dyes available in the 18th century. The composition is defined by an elegant allover repeating pattern of stylized floral motifs, including palmettes and blossoms, intricately connected by a delicate lattice framework. This continuous design avoids a central medallion, allowing the eye to traverse the entire surface without interruption, a hallmark of courtly designs of the period.
