Vintage Persian Block Print (Kalamkari) Textile

This exquisite 19th-century Indian Agra rug is a rare and striking example of refined craftsmanship and historic design. Hand-knotted in the late 1800s, the rug features an allover garden motif—a hallmark of classical Agra weaving inspired by the royal Mughal courts. The luminous saffron yellow field is adorned with delicately rendered birds, branches, and floral elements in French blue, rose pink, deep red, sage green, ivory, and warm brown. The composition evokes the serene beauty of a Persian-style “Chahar Bagh” (four-part garden), symbolizing paradise on earth. Its abrash green border showcases natural tonal variations that enhance the rug’s sense of depth and movement. A masterful combination of color and detail, this piece offers timeless elegance, ideal for anchoring both traditional and contemporary interiors. Perfect for designers and collectors seeking authenticity, this rug is both an artwork and a conversation piece—a genuine antique that bridges history and design sensibility.
