Anchor an entryway or dining space in everyday opulence with this round hand-knotted Agra rug, rooted in classic Agra weaving traditions and reimagined for modern living through a lush sage and moss green center field detailed with botanical motifs and warm gold, brown, and teal accents along the border. Crafted with premium wool for lasting resilience and silk for a captivating sheen, the cut-pile texture built on a sturdy cotton foundation feels unbelievably soft underfoot. A touch more delicate than an all-wool weave, this wool and silk area rug is best suited to a low or medium-traffic room.

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 New Zealand wool and silk, chosen for the durability of the wool paired with the soft luster of silk.

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 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.
