Agra / 12594

This Agra wool piece is an antique rug with an intimate, all-over floral ground set within expansive foliate borders. The palette balances blue and green accents against neutral grounds, creating layered tonal shifts and gentle abrash across the field. Motifs of palmettes, rosettes and scrolling vines sit in disciplined repetition, enlivened by areas of softened pile that reveal the rug’s age and handling. Overall distress is low and borders remain well defined, giving the piece a composed presence and tactile surface. Circa 1900 - 1915, the Agra exemplifies traditional wool technique and a timeworn colour sensibility. 376 x 422 cm.
