Celeste Rugs 8'1''x10 Hand Knotted Agra Transitional 200 KPSI High Sheen Beige, Burnt Orange New Zealand Wool Area Rug

Woven at 200 knots per square inch, this Agra-style carpet pairs an intricately medallioned ivory field with a rich burnt-orange border, picking up soft mint, brown, and gold along the way. The high knot count is what allows that much detail in the medallion work, and it also lets the New Zealand wool be sheared fine enough for a high sheen, a lustrous, almost silk-like surface from an all-wool rug. The drawing bridges Persian-inspired ornament with a cleaner, more contemporary sense of scale. It works in a formal dining room and a relaxed living space equally well.

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.

Care Vacuum with suction only to preserve the sheen, and rotate once a year. Blot spills on the ivory field immediately, and use a rug pad to stop a dense, fine rug from creeping on hard floors.

Construction Hand-knotted in New Zealand wool at 200 knots per square inch. At that density the pile can be sheared shorter and finer, which produces the sheen and holds the detail in the medallions.

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 motifs elements 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.
