An antique Amritsar carpet that was woven in India around the turn of the 20th century. Characterized by beautifully precise line work as well as a charmingly muted pallet of pale pink and gold, this Amritsar carpet exemplifies some of the finest qualities of the style. Classically composed, this Indian carpet features beautiful border sections as well as a generously proportioned field. A bare band of pale ivory surrounds the perimeter of the piece, its simplicity a lovely contrast to the complexity that characterizes the remainder of the composition.
A classical design of swaying palmettes and tendrils emanates from a central blossom. the consistent tone-on-tone coloration gives the entire composition a remarkable decorative unity. Simply put, this rug is a remarkable piece of work and very decorative. And it is work of art.
