Description
Hand knotted in wool originating from India circa 1900-1910, this 15×18 antique rug connotes a transitional Agra rug of a notably rare design, enjoying a beautifully scaled pattern, fantastic yarn, and the most pleasant colors both within and accenting the prevailing red and blue in this all over pattern.
Further on the Design: This particular antique Agra rug can almost definitely be traced back to one of the major weaving workshops of turn-of-the-century India, equally as likely made for the European—or more specifically English—market, connoting the culmination of its atypical but regal beauties seldom seen in this large size, let alone in good condition for a piece of its age and lineage.
