About the Item

Magnificent 19th Century Oversized Indian Agra Rug with Botanical Motifs Size: 14'3" x 17'7" (434 × 535 cm). Woven in the late 19th century, this oversized antique Indian Agra rug exemplifies the grandeur and artistry of the Mughal-inspired weaving tradition. Crafted circa 1880, it boasts an expansive and richly detailed design that seamlessly balances formality with expressive botanical beauty. The field is anchored in a deep, inky blue-teal background, densely populated with stylized floral sprays, palmettes, and serrated leaves in a spectrum of muted creams, soft roses, pistachio greens, and ivory tones. The all-over pattern is sophisticated yet organic, lending the rug an understated opulence ideal for large-scale interiors. The vibrant border—rendered in a saturated madder red—forms a striking contrast, framing the inner garden with rhythmic rosettes, elongated saz leaves, and rosettes in a repeating palmette motif. Subtle abrash and expert use of negative space imbue the composition with depth and dimension. This hand-knotted wool carpet is not only a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of colonial-era India but also a rare decorative artifact suitable for grand interiors or refined collectors. It exemplifies the quiet power of color harmony and ornamental mastery in antique Indian textiles.   A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship.
