Description

The antique Indian rug weavers of Agra developed a unique style that is all their own but that also shows the influence of other rug weaving cultures. This gorgeous antique rug has a brilliant red background and a decidedly Chinese flavor. One of the features that sets the antique Agra rugs apart are the beautiful colors and sense of balance. Agra rugs show a wide variety of classic designs and unique color combinations.

Agra rug weavers drew their inspiration from a wide range of global styles and influences. In this antique rug, you can see the influences of China, Persia, and other artistic elements that are uniquely Indian. Agra is the home of the famed Taj Mahal. This rug is reminiscent of the reflecting pools that may have adorned the gardens and entrances of such a grand estate.

Animals and plant life surround the central medallion, perhaps representing a garden oasis or suggesting a connection to the Tree of Life. This oasis theme is supported by the sandy background of the border, giving it the feeling of a desert oasis. Throughout the rug, you can see Persian-influenced designs, such as the cypress tree and stylized variations of the acanthus leaf motif. You will also find distinctively Indian animals, such as elephants, in this beautiful menagerie.

The deep red background of this rug makes the perfect piece for a room with vibrant, saturated colors. It is perfect for Chinoiseries-style or Boudoir-style space, and it could also be used to add something a little out of the ordinary to an Asian-themed space.

The Agra rug from India has a formal feel that will add elegance to any room of the home from the dining room to the living room or bedroom. Agra is a city known for its architecture and artwork on a grand scale, and this area rug is perfect for the large, open spaces that dominate many of today’s architectural styles. Agra rugs are highly collectible, and this one will make a beautiful addition to your home or office.
