Vintage Burgundy Red Large Scale Allover Pattern Agra Carpet Circa 1940

About the Item

Burgundy red ground Agra carpets have historically been regarded among the most refined and elegant decorative carpets. They were commissioned by British nobility during the colonial period to adorn their castles and palaces. This example is distinguished by its large scale, modular pattern of scrolling leafs and palmettes, which is derived from the fine Esfahan carpets of the Safavid period. The same colour background is employed for the border, where a similar botanical design beautifully frames the field. A carpet that is embellished by an aristocratic, old-world timeless appeal.
