About the Item

90027 Antique Blue Indian Agra Rug, 10'10 x 16'09. Step into a world of timeless elegance with this exquisite hand knotted wool antique Indian Agra rug, a true masterpiece from the late 19th century. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this antique Agra rug showcases the unparalleled skill and artistry of India's master weavers. The rich, deep blue central field, adorned with intricate all-over floral patterns, is both captivating and serene, reflecting the opulence and refinement of a bygone era. The composition is a harmonious blend of delicate botanical motifs and vibrant colors, typical of Agra rugs from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. The central field is an intricate dance of floral elements, weeping willow trees, and tree of life motifs, punctuated by soft, leafy tendrils, boteh, and blooming palmettes, creating a tableau of natural beauty. This is further enhanced by the striking red borders, adorned with cypress trees, vibrant florals and foliage, which frame this masterpiece like a work of art. The contrasting colors of blue and red are a hallmark of traditional Agra aesthetics, adding depth and dimension to the piece. The specific design, known as the "Persian vase" or "vase carpet" pattern, is a testament to the rich artistic influence and cultural heritage of the Agra region. Crafted from the finest quality wool, the rug's hand-knotted construction ensures both durability and luxury. The fine details and precise weaving techniques are a testament to the craftsmanship that flourished in Agra during this period. The rug's condition, with its even wear and rich patina, speaks to its age and the care it has received over the years. The mellowed tones of the colors, combined with the soft, inviting texture of the wool, make this woven wonder a cherished heirloom that exudes warmth and character. This antique Indian Agra rug, dating back to the late 19th century, is more than just a floor covering; it is a portal to a world of elegance and history. Its enchanting design and exquisite craftsmanship make it a centerpiece that will elevate any space, whether in a drawing room, grand hotel lobby, or elegant dining room.
