About the Item
Oversized Antique Indian Agra Rug
Size: 14'9" × 23'7" (449 × 718 cm).
A truly magnificent example of late 19th-century Indian textile artistry, this oversized Agra rug from circa 1880 captures the grandeur and finesse that defined the best carpets of the British Raj era. Woven in the historic city of Agra—once the capital of the Mughal Empire and a key center for fine carpet weaving—this piece is a testament to India's mastery in adapting Persian aesthetic traditions with native craftsmanship and a uniquely regal flair.
The field is richly adorned with an elaborate allover pattern of large-scale palmettes, flowering vines, serrated leaves, and stylized rosettes arranged symmetrically in a complex lattice, invoking the opulence of classical Safavid design. The meticulous outlines, rendered in a deep navy or slate blue, lend definition and rhythm to the ornate golden-tan and ivory florals. Delicate sage and pistachio greens, mellowed with age, provide elegant accent tones throughout the composition.
Framing the composition is a wide border densely packed with floral motifs and angular arabesques, enhancing the piece’s majestic scale. The entire carpet is executed in a plush, luxurious wool pile, hand-knotted to exceptional standards, resulting in a durable yet soft texture that has withstood the passage of time beautifully.
Distinguished by its subtle patina, restrained palette, and rare oversize format, this antique Agra carpet is not only a decorative masterpiece but also a collectible historical artifact—perfect for anchoring large-scale interiors with sophistication and cultural richness.
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.
