Agra / 10649

An Agra with a muted red field and warm cream highlights, its small-scale floral medallions and repeating palmette lattice softened by steady wear. The wide border of linked cartouches reads as a quieter frame to the worked centre, the wool pile showing even abrash and selective loss that reveals pale weft tones beneath. The piece retains a tactile, layered patina across 353 x 587 cm, a clear expression of handcraft and age in one measured composition. This antique rug carries a considered, timeworn authority. Circa 1885 - 1900. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
