Antique Agra Indian Royal Hunting Scene Rug

About the Item

74662 Antique Agra Indian Rug with Royal Howdah and Hunting Scene. Cleverly composed and distinctively well-balanced, this antique Agra Indian rug displays an exceptional hunting scene and Howdah. Rendered in variegated shades of red, rust, brown, navy blue, golden yellow, orange, green, beige and ivory. Impressive in stature and high contrasting colors, the elephant and royal howdah takes centre stage among the garden of meandering vines, animals and trees. Howdahs were used in the past to carry wealthy people or for use in hunting or warfare. It was also a symbol of wealth for the owner and as a result was decorated with expensive gemstones. Impeccably woven throughout, the grandeur border is expressed in a timeless yet spirited color palette. The meticulous details radiate throughout the opulent composition creating a compelling framework unfolding a beautiful patina. The sense of flight is evident throughout the rug as the predators hunt their prey. With its eccentric hunting scene and the attention to detail, this antique Agra rug is unlike any other as it allows the viewer to continuously discover fascinating subjects, from the royal howdah and elephant to the cheetahs (leopards) and tigers to the phoenix and flying birds. Sophisticated, eccentric and irreplaceable, this antique Agra rug makes a wonderful choice underfoot. Measures: 08'07 x 11'04.
