A deep maroon and red field anchors this hand-knotted Agra rug, layered with an ornate floral lattice and framed by a luminous light gold and beige border touched with olive green and rose accents. Hand-crafted knot by knot from premium New Zealand wool, the piece has a silky sheen that brings out the depth of the maroon ground, giving the design the kind of polished, classic look that Agra rugs are known for.
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-crafted from premium New Zealand wool, finished with a silky sheen that adds depth to the maroon field and floral lattice.
Care & Maintenance: Vacuum regularly using suction only, avoiding a rotating beater bar that could dull the pile's sheen. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth, and rotate the rug periodically to protect the maroon field from uneven fading. Professional cleaning is recommended to maintain the silky finish.

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.
