Early 20th Century Indian Agra Rug in All Over “Tree of Life” Pattern in Ivory

About the Item

A rare and distinguished early 20th-century Indian Agra room size rug featuring an allover “Tree of Life” pattern, inspired by the classical motifs of the Mughal court and deeply rooted in Persian symbolism. The design beautifully integrates cypress trees, flowering plants, and birds—elements traditionally associated with paradise gardens and the eternal cycle of life. The cypress tree, revered as a symbol of immortality in ancient Persia, takes center stage in this highly detailed and harmonious composition. Hand-knotted from finely spun, lush wool, the rug boasts a soft cream-to-light yellow field that highlights a rich palette of green, blue, pink, saffron yellow, and red. A striking saffron border with intricately rendered vines and leaves frames the design with elegance and balance. This piece is made all the more remarkable by sharing its exact design with SKU 1694—an exceedingly rare occurrence in antique and vintage rug production. This unique find offers timeless beauty and is ideal for use in thoughtfully curated interiors.

19th Century Large Indian Agra in Garden Pattern in Saffron Yellow, Green, Pink
Located in Barrington, IL
This exquisite 19th-century Indian Agra rug is a rare and striking example of refined craftsmanship and historic design. Hand-knotted in the late 1800s, the rug features an allover garden motif—a hallmark of classical Agra weaving inspired by the royal Mughal courts. The luminous saffron yellow field is adorned with delicately rendered birds, branches, and floral elements in French blue, rose pink, deep red, sage green, ivory, and warm brown.

Its abrash green border showcases natural tonal variations that enhance the rug’s sense of depth and movement. A masterful combination of color and detail, this piece offers timeless elegance, ideal for anchoring both traditional and contemporary interiors.
