Large Antique Indian Agra Rug

About the Item

Large antique Indian Agra rug Size: 14'0" × 18'10" (426 × 574 cm) Antique Indian rugs are amongst one of the most sought-after types of Oriental rugs and it is very easy to see why. Their stunning pattern combined with wonderful quality of the weave result in an antique rug which is nothing short of perfection. Agra rugs are especially famous due to their beautiful designs. During the sixteenth century the city of Agra was the cultural center of Indian art forms such as inlaid jewelry, miniature paintings, architecture and indian rug weaving. Since the golden age of Mughal India the production of Oriental rugs and agra carpets had virtually disappeared until it was regenerated under British rule. This stunning antique Indian rug was woven in the late 19th century, circa 1880. An antique rug of such elegance is a dream come true of any art lover. Woven by hand with the greatest care and love for the craft, it is bound to serve you faithfully for years to come. Rug’s design includes a central field filled with an allover trellis of palmette pattern. The whole is surrounded by a thick frame containing intricately-drawn floral motifs within a series of narrow inner borders. Color palette accompanying this antique Indian rug, contains luxurious shades of golden beige mixed with black, brown and a bit of gray. Rug’s size, 14’0? × 18’10” (427 × 574 cm), makes it a perfect choice for spacious types of interiors, such as living or dining rooms.
