Beautiful Antique Indian Amritsar Square Rug, Circa Date: 1900 - The antique Indian Amritsar rugs are unique because of how versatile they may be, showcasing a tremendous variety of motifs and details according to other Indian rug making traditions. They often use clay and earthy tones in order to create a soothing color palette for the viewer to enjoy, and the strong use of contrast present throughout creates a tapestry like effect. In this specific square shape area rug, the subtle use of soft and light tones, results in an old parchment type appearance, as if this older rug from India was painted rather than woven. Several flowing vines and petals mark the central field and surrounding borders of the square size, earth tone colored, antique Indian Amritsar rug. The design elements, such as the paisley boteh design and floral elements, that grace the field of this earth tone rug are carried throughout the border as well. This approach to the design provides a magnificent unified feel throughout the entire piece.
