This large late 19th-century Amritsar carpet originates from Northern India and follows a traditional Indian style with an Ardebil-inspired design. The hand-knotted wool and cotton construction displays a deep burgundy and magenta central field contrasted against a broad cream patterned border, accented by soft greyish-blue tones throughout the pile. Visible decorative details include a prominent central starburst medallion surrounded by radiating floral palmettes, monumental cartouche borders, corner spandrels, and small star motifs along the inner guard band. Signs of age and past maintenance are apparent, with areas of wear across the field, one or two secure repairs, and newly secured ends and sides while remaining very clean with no holes. Measuring 552 cm high and 365 cm wide, this heavy floor covering suits placement in a spacious country house dining room or similar large reception space.

FAQs

Amritsar carpets are hand-knotted floor coverings produced in the city of Amritsar in Northern India, originating predominantly in the late nineteenth century. They were created to meet Western demand, combining classical Persian motifs with unique colour palettes tailored for European interiors.

These carpets are constructed using natural wool pile knotted onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation. The weaving utilizes traditional hand-knotted techniques, often employing high-grade wool dyed with vegetal or early synthetic dyes.

Authentic pieces typically feature soft, muted tones alongside rich berry or deep wine shades, a double-warped structure, and design elements influenced by Mughal and Safavid art. The weave density is generally moderate, providing a supple texture suitable for large spaces.

Large-format Amritsar carpets serve as foundational anchors for main drawing rooms, dining spaces, or libraries. Their expansive dimensions and central medallion compositions structure furniture placement in both traditional and eclectic modern interiors.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush helps remove surface dirt without pulling fibers. The rug should be turned periodically to ensure even wear, used with a suitable rug underlay, and professionally cleaned by a specialist textile conservator when required.
