Agra / 13927

This Agra antique rug measures 292 x 488 cm, and reflects the generous floral rhythm and ornament associated with the type. A deep red field carries scrolling vinework, palmettes, and medallion-like blooms, enclosed by a broad border worked in navy, cream, gold, and blue-grey. The wool surface has a mellow tactility, with subtle variation that softens the saturated palette without dulling it. Circa 1915 - 1930, the design feels composed and expressive, with low distress that preserves clarity in the drawing while still showing the quiet character of age. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
