This elegant vintage Agra rug, woven in the early 1900s, features a classic allover floral pattern inspired by the refined aesthetics of 16th-century Mughal court carpets. Set against a navy blue field, the floral motifs are gracefully arranged in a symmetrical layout that pays homage to India's rich artistic and weaving traditions.
Notable throughout the field are subtle bands of abrash—variations in blue shades caused by hand-dyeing processes of the original wool—which add depth, patina, and a unique visual rhythm to the composition. The rug’s saturated red border beautifully frames the field and reinforces the overall warmth and richness of the design palette.
