About the Item

Hand-knotted in wool, originating from India circa 1920-1930, this oversized 13x16 special Agra Jail rug features a play of all-over floral and medallion style together. On the Design Connoisseurs will admire this outstanding oversized antique Agra rug—a one-of-a-kind masterpiece new to the collection. Designers and admirers of the craft alike will particularly appreciate its size—one of the best and most versatile one can find in Agra rugs of its period that lends to so many spaces today. The special rug features rich beige/brown, red and green tones with underscores, a dense and finely detailed all-over floral pattern and medallions like few of this or any period. The attention to detail in scale, texture and movement of color is matched only by its equally rare condition. This ‘Jail rug’ is a type of Agra rug with a fascinating history wherein they were woven in prisons, commissioned as a social program by patrons of the time and yielding some of the most collectible and stunning English-meets-Indian rugs like these of their period—so few of such regal presence remain today, and even fewer of that unspoken, masterful balance of comfortable and elegant sensibilities that calls this kind of rug to only the most appropriate projects and collectors. Condition: This antique Agra Jail rug further enjoys good condition for its age and lineage.
