Agra / 11560

Agra in wool presents a measured, heritage-inflected presence in a palette of warm neutrals, brown and gold. The square 432 x 452 cm field contains an intricate central medallion set within dense scrolling foliage and smaller figural elements, rendered with the deliberate restraint of older designs. The broad, palmette and vine border in lighter tones frames the rich maroon centre and introduces soft colour contrast. Low distress preserves the pattern and gives the surface a tactile, slightly worn patina. This antique rug combines material tactility with composed ornamentation and a quiet, historic character. Circa 1910 - 1925
