Oversize Vintage Celadon Green All-Over Design Agra Carpet with Ruby Red Border
About the Item
Agra carpets have historically been regarded among the most refined decorative carpets. They were commissioned by the British nobility during the colonial period to adorn their castles and palaces. This finely woven example is distinguished by an exquisite celadon green colour for the background, contrasting beautifully with the refined ruby red of the border and by its modular pattern of scrolling palmettes, which is derived from the fine Isfahan carpets of the Safavid period. 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 sensibility. Agra carpets manifest the ideal syncretism of style, and for this reason they have been the first choice among interior designers since the 19th century. Together with the contemporaneous Ziegler carpets, Agra has always been the trademark for noble and timeless quality.
