Originating from India, this particular rug hails from Agra and is crafted in a traditional style dating circa 1920. Its primary background is royal blue, complemented by a dusty rose border, with the main color being blue. The rug is composed of wool on a cotton foundation, reflecting common practices in Agra rug weaving known for durability and intricate craftsmanship.
Agra rugs have a significant lineage of production dating back to the Mughal era, specifically the 16th and 17th centuries. This historical period marked a flourishing of carpet weaving under imperial patronage, blending Persian and Mughal aesthetics into the designs. Agra rugs were renowned for their high-quality craftsmanship, using superior materials and detailed weaving techniques that produced a high knot count.
Characteristic features of Agra rugs include allover patterns and central medallions, often imbued with floral designs, arabesques, and elaborate motifs emblematic of Mughal artistry. A medium ribbed back is a distinguishing trait of many Agra carpets, and the finest examples maintain these original details well.
This antique Agra rug showcases a detailed, symmetrical design pervasive throughout the piece. The pattern consists of a repetitive grid-like arrangement with floral or star-like motifs, each with four extending arms, creating a dynamic and ornate visual. Dominant colors include various shades of blue, beige serving as a neutral base, and accents of pink and green within the motifs.
The rug’s borders include a thin inner blue line that frames the main pattern and a wider outer border with intricate cross-hatch patterns and floral shapes, utilizing the rug’s central motif colors of blue, pink, and beige. This meticulous arrangement results in a highly symmetrical pattern, both horizontally and vertically, ensuring uniformity across the rug's surface. There is no distinct central medallion; instead, the continuous grid pattern of motifs provides a uniform coverage, making the rug visually dense and intricate.
The blend of the ornate design, harmonious color palette, and dense pattern arrangement makes this antique Agra rug an exemplary piece embodying the rich tradition and skilled craftsmanship of early 20th-century Indian rug weaving.
