Story Behind the Art: India’s textile legacy spans thousands of years, but the Mughal period marked a defining chapter in its rug-weaving evolution. Under Emperor Akbar’s patronage in the late 16th century, workshops in Agra, Delhi, and Lahore flourished, initially reflecting strong Persian influence. By the 17th century, Indian weavers developed their own artistic vocabulary—tight, refined knots; silk-like wool; radiant jewel-tone palettes; and botanical motifs rendered with remarkable naturalism. Today, India stands as one of the world’s largest handmade carpet exporters, offering everything from Indo-Persian luxury pieces to modern wool-and-silk blends, hand-tufted carpets, Zeigler designs, and kilims. In 2022, the United States alone accounted for over half of all Indian rug exports, highlighting India’s global prominence.
