Zabihi Collection Antique Square Agra Pictorial Animal 19th Century Rug

About the Item

A anmimal pictorial late 19th century antique Indian Agra small square rug. 6'1'' x 7'4'' The historic Indian city of Agra, best known as the home of the Taj Mahal, has a long and illustrious tradition of carpet weaving. Although the weaving industry in Agra was limited, its workshops produced graceful carpets, recognized for their superb artistry and excellent workmanship. Antique and semi-antique Agra carpets, as opposed to modern "Indo" rugs, are highly sought after, ranking among the finest of decorative carpets. Weaving in Agra dates to the founding of the Mogul Empire in India in 1530. The Mogul emperors were deeply affected by Persian art and culture, especially Persian carpets, in what is called "The Golden Age of Persian Weaving". Their art sought to replicate the beauty of the Persian court where the first Mogul Emperor had spent time in exile and to which the later Emperors remained connected. The resulting "Mogul" carpets were masterworks of creative endeavor which are the forebears of antique Agra carpets still available today.
