Doris Leslie Blau Antique Indian Agra Rug

About the Item

Antique Indian Agra Rug Size: 8'10" × 11'4" (269 × 345 cm) Circa: 1880 Color: Beige, Black, Blue, Cream, Orange, Pink, Red Origin: India Type: Agra This exquisite 19th-century Agra rug from India captures the opulence and artistry of the Mughal aesthetic with a dramatic and richly detailed design. Set against a deep charcoal field, the composition bursts with stylized botanical elements, angular palmettes, and serrated medallions rendered in a vivid yet refined palette of crimson, ivory, ochre, soft rose, and gold. Delicate vines and floral sprays create a rhythmic lattice that balances geometric precision with organic flow, imbuing the rug with dynamic symmetry. Crafted circa 1880, the piece exemplifies the superior craftsmanship for which Agra weavers were renowned—thick, plush wool knotted with finesse to produce a highly durable yet luxurious surface. Its unusual use of saturated dark ground punctuated by bright, jewel-like motifs evokes the grandeur of Indian courtly textiles while maintaining a uniquely expressive and folkloric charm. A rare fusion of Indian elegance and Persian influence, this Agra rug is a timeless centerpiece, ideal for collectors and interior connoisseurs who appreciate historical depth, bold design, and artisanal mastery. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
