Description

The soft crimson field is filled with small flowering shrubs, their larger brothers in a single row in the main border, in colours of green and cream. At first glance a simple carpet but the longer you look the more you see a pleasing complexity; in the many subtle abrashes, in the plain outer stripe and the way the shrubs seem to sway around the field... In great original condition, showing light to medium wear but a strong and sturdy carpet that could go another 120 years.

9'0" x 12'0"

Date of Manufacture

James Cohen Antique Carpets has dated this Antique Amritsar Carpet to the 1900s.

FAQs

An antique Amritsar carpet is a hand-knotted rug produced in the Punjab region of Northern India, known for employing soft colour palettes and distinctive botanical or geometric motifs influenced by both Persian designs and British colonial tastes.

These carpets are traditionally constructed using hand-spun wool for the pile, often set upon a cotton foundation with natural dyes yielding muted tones such as madder pinks, soft yellows, and subtle indigos.

Authenticity is determined by examining the irregularity of hand-spun wool, natural dye variation, structural knot density, and characteristic wear patterns typical of late nineteenth or early twentieth-century production.

Such a carpet works effectively as a grounding element in rooms featuring neutral furnishings, where its historic texture and faded coloration can contrast cleanly with minimalist architecture or enrich traditional spaces.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotating brushes, professional hand-washing when necessary, avoiding direct exposure to strong sunlight, and utilizing a breathable rug underlay to prevent friction wear.
