Large Antique Agra Carpet, c. 1890s
About the Item
The city of Agra in Northern India – best known as the home of the Taj Mahal – boasts a long tradition of master rug weaving. Its carpets, renowned for their exemplary quality and artistry, drawing on the Mughal period designs of the 16th Century, can be found in historic homes across the UK and Europe.
This stunning 19th Century example – a rare find, especially given its age and size – features a subtle grey-black field, overlaid with a simple two-tone design in ivory and plum colours, framed by a wide border. The drawing has a wonderfully crisp quality, thanks to the skill of its makers, and a restrained palette that lends the work a quiet formality.
A beautiful piece, in very good to excellent condition, to compliment a stylish interior.

- Understated 1890s Beshir CarpetLocated in London, GBBeshir rugs are woven by the Beshir tribe of Turkmenistan in Central Asia. They are best known for their distinctive weaving style, in a region where most rugs produced by their neighbouring tribes can be recognised by their so-called elephant foot pattern and deep blues and reds. This 19th-century example features a pomegranate blossom motif, inspired by earlier weavings of the 18th Century, symbolising prosperity, longevity and fertility, with a muted aubergine grey field and a variety of earthy, vegetable-dyed colours in its design. Its weaving has a precision and clarity uncommon in carpets of its type - truly a carpet of one-of-a-kind craftsmanship and artistry. This Beshir carpet...Category
