About the Item

Oversized Antique Indian Agra Rug Size: 15'0" × 24'10" (457 × 756 cm). This stunning 1920s oversized Indian Agra rug is a remarkable testament to the artistic grandeur and technical mastery of early 20th-century Indian textile craftsmanship. Woven with a refined sensibility, the rug combines Mughal-inspired botanical elegance with a palette rich in warm, earthy tones of saffron, brick red, soft ivory, and pale teal. The field is adorned with an intricate network of blossoming vines and stylized floral motifs, all symmetrically arranged in a lattice-like pattern that exudes balance and grace. The repetition of crimson and coral-hued rosettes throughout the cream backdrop evokes a blooming garden in full flourish, lending a sense of movement and natural rhythm to the expansive field. Encircling this vibrant floral core is a masterfully layered border system, composed of multiple guard bands and a dominant main border. The latter features a profusion of stylized flowers connected by angular vinery, rendered in vibrant reds, ochres, and subdued blues. These elements are framed by narrower guards with floral meanders, creating a visual rhythm that gracefully contains the abundance of the central design. Crafted from high-quality wool, the rug bears a soft sheen and exceptional texture, evident in the fine weave and detailed articulation of its motifs. The natural vegetable dyes used have mellowed beautifully over the past century, enriching the surface with an appealing patina and subtle abrash that only age can provide. With its immense scale and richly decorative scheme, this antique Agra rug would be ideal for grand interior spaces, whether traditional, eclectic, or transitional. Its quiet elegance and refined palette offer versatility while its historic pedigree ensures a distinct character. 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.
