A rare Amritsar Antique Rug. Sourced from my comprehensive catalogues of current and past auction items.
Based on the classic designs of Moghul India, an aquatic paradise or marsh scene unfolds with grace and delicacy across the pale tan field of this exquisite antique Amritsar. The naturalistic detail is classically Moghul. We can recognize lotus or lily plants, cat tails, fish, herons, and ducks. The wispy draftsmanship and soft coloration, however, are a new and distinctive feature, attesting to the weavers’ skill. A classical Indo-Persian vinescroll border encloses the field, utilizing a darker palette to frame and anchor all the delicacy of the field.
Please note the original dimensions of this rug. Although supplied as modifiable, over stretching may distort the pattern. Also note that as a representation of a handmade product it may have less than perfect linage. This part of the beauty of such a rug.
