Antique Agra Gallery Runner Jail Rug with Geometric Patterns

About the Item

Hand-knotted in wool, this 9x27 antique Agra gallery runner jail rug features dense and finely detailed all-over floral patterns like few of this or any period. On the Design: Connoisseurs will admire this outstanding antique Agra gallery runner rug—a one-of-a-kind masterpiece new to the collection. The special rug features rich burgundy underscores a dense and finely detailed all-over floral pattern like few of this or any period. The attention to detail in scale, texture and movement of color is matched only by its equally rare condition. This ‘Jail rug’ is a type of Agra and/or Amritsar rug with a fascinating history wherein they were woven in prisons, commissioned as a social program by patrons of the time and yielding some of the most collectible and stunning English-meets-Indian rugs like these of their period—so few of such regal presence remain today, and even fewer of that unspoken, masterful balance of comfortable and elegant sensibilities that calls this kind of rug to only the most appropriate projects and collectors. Condition: This antique Agra gallery runner jail rug enjoys pristine condition, rare for its age and origin.
