About the Item
Antique Agras have historically been regarded among the most refined and elegant carpets. Many were commissioned by the British nobility during the colonial period to adorn their castles and palaces. This finely woven example, in excellent condition, is distinguished by an exquisite burgundy background, decorated by what is considered as the most beautiful floral shrub pattern conceived during the Mughal dynasty. The field design is in perfect balance with the generously wide, teal green border, embellished by large cartouches containing stylised birds surrounded by scrolling cloudbands and palmettes. The very unusual and extremely useful square format suggests that it might have been commissioned at the time for a specific room. Agras represent the pinnacle of the decorative carpet market in that they embody the classicism of Mughal iconography with a palette that is much closer to western sensibilities.
