Celeste Rugs 6'1"x9' Hand Knotted Traditional Agra Antique Rose, Turquoise Wool Area Rug

Agra rugs borrow the classic Persian pairing of burgundy and gold, and this hand-knotted wool version leans right into it. The rug features a deep red field covered in interlocking medallions and floral stems in gold, green and cream, with a broad gold border of palmettes and vines. The border colors stay crisp against the dark red, and soft ivory fringe finishes the ends. A dense, sturdy pile makes this traditional Agra rug a dependable choice.

Individually woven by skilled artisans, each rug is a truly one-of-a-kind piece. This authentic craftsmanship results in a distinct work of art built to last for generations. 

Construction: Hand-knotted from wool, selected for its resilience and its ability to hold rich color and definition across the pattern. 

Care & Maintenance: Vacuum regularly using suction only, avoiding a rotating beater bar. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth, and rotate the rug periodically to distribute wear evenly. Professional cleaning is recommended to keep the pile looking its best.

Story Behind the Art: The Indian rug industry reached its artistic peak during the Mughal era, particularly under Emperor Akbar, who established weaving centers in Agra, Delhi, and Lahore in the late 16th century. Initially influenced by Persian styles, these early rugs gradually evolved their own distinct visual language by the 17th century. Indian weavers began incorporating tighter knotting, silk-like wool, rich color palettes, and lifelike motifsÑelements that would come to define the Indian rug aesthetic. This fusion of intricate craftsmanship and original design has given Indian rugs a timeless appeal and a global following. Among them, Agra rugs stand out for blending the grandeur of Persian tradition with unique Indian creativity. Known for their floral tendrils, angular vines, scrolling leaves, and large, finely detailed blossoms framed by bold borders, Agra rugs favor all-over patterns that radiate elegance and complexity.
