Agra / 11488

An Agra worked in a muted neutral and gold colourway, this antique rug is 409 x 518 cm. A softened central medallion unfolds into scrolling vines and palmettes, while a broad floral border frames the design. Wool fibres have aged to a low, tactile pile with subtle abrash and a warm, sun-faded patina. Medium distress is evident in even wear and slightly worn edges, giving the rug an archival, tactile presence. The palette reads as painterly and restrained, the surface resonant with time and craft. Circa 1900 - 1920 The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
