Story Behind the Art: Indian rug craftsmanship reached its artistic height during the Mughal period, especially under Emperor Akbar, who established major weaving ateliers in Agra, Delhi, and Lahore in the late 16th century. While early Indian rugs drew heavily from Persian influence, by the 17th century they had evolved into a distinct visual tradition. Indian artisans incorporated tighter knots, luminous wool with silk-like texture, bold natural dyes, and lifelike botanical renderings—characteristics now associated with Mughal-era weaving. Among these, Agra rugs remain especially admired for their sweeping floral tendrils, scrolling vines, angular motifs, and large, meticulously detailed blossoms framed by strong architectural borders. Their combination of complexity, symmetry, and artistic refinement gives Agra rugs enduring global appeal and collector prestige.
