This oversized 11x16 oversized antique Agra rug is a magnificent addition to Rug & Kilim’s Antique collection; a masterpiece of traditional Indian textile history, hand-knotted in wool and originating from India circa 1880-1900.## On the Design:This late 19th-century Agra rug from the collection of Y & B Bolour, exemplifies the sophisticated and elegant layout of imperial Indian court revivals, particularly through its execution of an all-over millefleurs design in a grand royal garden format. Admirers of the craft will appreciate how the expansive canvas intentionally bypasses standard centralized medallions, employing a dense, rhythmic network of stylized botanical shrubs, symmetric weeping cypresses, and grand floral palmettes. These magnificent floral elements employ a dynamic, bright palette of warm camel beige and earthy rust orange against a deeply striated, moody canvas of rich forest green and deep midnight indigo, creating dramatic contrast and a natural sense of dimensionality.Keen eyes will further admire the strict geometric order that ensures every individual botanical motif is given the precise spacing needed to breathe within the matrix. The interior garden is flawlessly encapsulated by a stately, continuous scroll of floral cartouches over a warm, luminous cream track, providing a necessary, high-contrast visual boundary that frames the dark field. This rug is an extremely collectible piece from the historic weaving workshops of the golden Agra days, prized for its place in design history as well as its quality and incredible large size compared to few of its caliber today.Condition:This antique Agra rug is in good condition for its age and origin.
