Agra / 11794

This Agra in wool is an antique rug measuring 244 x 305 cm, characterised by a subdued, cream ground and a composed, low-contrast palette. The layout pairs a wide floral border of repeating cartouches with an open field of palmettes and stylised botanical forms, the drawing kept deliberate and spare. Medium distress and surface abrasion produce subtle abrash and softened edges, lending a lived, tactile quality to the piece. Circa 1910 - 1930, the rug presents as a weathered, crafted object where pattern and patina coexist with quiet dignity. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
