Antique Agra Indian Rug Ardabil Design

About the Item

Own a Piece of History: Monumental 120-Year-Old Agra Rug with Persian and Indian Heritage Imagine stepping into your home and being greeted by a monumental 120-year-old Agra rug, a stunning work of art that has transcended time, culture, and history. This rare antique piece not only enhances the beauty of your space but also connects you to the rich traditions of both Persian and Indian artistry. Inspired by the famous 16th-century Ardabil rug, this Agra masterpiece is a testament to the highest level of craftsmanship, featuring intricate designs that symbolize the beauty and renewal of life itself. Imagine the marsala-hued field of this rug, adorned with flowers that seem to come to life. The central medallion, surrounded by 16 radiant pendants symbolizing the sun, casts its light across the carpet, just like the sun illuminates a blooming garden. As you admire the delicate lotus flowers and Chinese peonies, you’ll notice how they reflect the cyclical nature of time—some flowers are still budding, while others have fully blossomed. This is not just a rug; it’s a living tapestry of the world’s most beautiful allegories—rebirth, growth, and power. When you lay this Agra rug in your home, you’re not just decorating; you’re experiencing a rich tapestry of history. The rug features the very inscription from the 16th-century Ardabil rug, a four-line poem by the legendary Persian poet Hafiz: "I have no refuge in the world beyond your threshold. There is no protection for my head beyond this door." The poem, followed by the signature of its creator, Maqsoud Kachani, transports you back to the Persian courts of the 1500s. Imagine the Mughal emperors, their palaces adorned with masterpieces like this, and now you have the privilege of adding such a piece to your collection—an heirloom to be cherished for generations. Owning this exquisite antique Agra rug means bringing a part of history into your home. Whether placed in a living room, formal dining area, or personal library, this rug is more than just décor—it’s an enduring connection to centuries of art, culture, and history. Its vibrant yet ethereal colour palette, ranging from lavender to rust red, will effortlessly blend with both contemporary and traditional spaces, making it an easy yet elegant addition to any setting. Transform your home with this rare and monumental Agra rug—a timeless masterpiece that reflects your refined taste and deep appreciation for history, beauty, and culture.
