Additional Features

• Origin: India Rugs
• Style: Agra Rugs
• At the Indian rug’s center are several curling and flowing petal shapes, their beautiful forms creating distinct lines of motion for the viewer’s eyes to follow. The same patterns are repeated throughout, resulting in an attractive display of movement and color.
• The history of rug weaving in Agra goes back to the first ruler of the Mughal Emperor who was exiled to Persia. When he returned, he brought the art of rug weaving back to India, and Agra would go on to become a center for art and industry. Many of their designs were borrowed from some of the finest artistic traditions in the world, only they transformed them into an art form that is unique and now stands out as some of the finest pieces in the world.
• Agra built a thriving rug weaving industry on the quality of its work and materials. It also built its business on the ability to recognize emerging trends and to adapt to them.
• The beautiful lighter color background, combined with the openness of the design and rare square rug shape, make this antique Indian Agra rug quite the find. The soft wool pile of the rug is extremely soft and luxurious. That is why some mistake it for being a silk pile rug as it has a light and airy feel that is most closely associated with area rugs woven with silk.
