Curated Collection of Authentic 19th and the Early 20th Century Rugs, Tapestries and Textiles Artistically Handwoven in Persia, the Caucasus, Anatolia, and Around the World
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.
