Agra / 11083

This Agra antique rug, 305 x 531 cm, presents a subtle, all-over floral lattice rendered in mellow red, brown and gold colourways. The wool fibre has softened with age; surface abrash and medium wear lend a calm, antique patina to the dense palmette border and minute repeating motifs. Corners and edges show gentle rounding while the central field retains an even, nuanced depth of tone. Circa 1885 - 1900, the rug conveys a restrained, heritage-aware presence, the result of careful weaving and years of natural wear. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
