Agra / 10777

An Agra in wool, this antique rug measures 300 x 361 cm and presents a quietly faded palmette field in cream on a neutral ground with warm, muted accents. The composition is expansive, with scrolling vines and repeated floral cartouches framed by several guard borders. Surface wear and medium distress create soft abrash and a patinated hand while the pile retains gentle tactile clarity that emphasises form over colour. The piece reads as considered and lived-in, a restrained expression of Agra weaving practice. Circa 1900 - 1920. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
