Flowing floral vines and bold palmettes take on an iridescent glow in this hand-knotted Agra rug, woven from a blend of fine wool and genuine silk over a sturdy cotton foundation. Drawing on the grand court weaves of Mughal-era Agra, the piece pairs a golden-amber central field with a rich espresso brown border, accented by delicate touches of rust, mint, and burnt orange.
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 a blend of fine wool and genuine silk over a sturdy cotton foundation, chosen for the iridescent glow silk brings to the floral pattern.
Care & Maintenance: Vacuum gently using low suction only, since the silk content is more delicate than wool and can be damaged by a rotating beater bar. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth, and keep the rug out of direct sunlight. Professional cleaning is recommended for anything beyond routine vacuuming.

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.
