Agra was a major production center for the best of the classical Mughal Carpets. The city was likewise one of the three prominent carpet production centers in India. Even though the weaving industry in that area was limited, its workshops produced elegant Antique carpets that have been praised for their thorough originality and workmanship. Semi-antique, as well as antique carpets from Agra, are greatly sought after, earning their rank among some of the finest decorative Indian carpets.

Agra rugs made in the early 20th century were usually of a more marketable nature rather than the superb quality of their ancestral counterparts. The carpets produced during the 19th-century are universally valued by both interior designers and collectors. In addition, Agra rugs are distinct and highly acclaimed works of art whose delicate palette of color and fanciful drawings are quite unique among decorative antique carpets. Overall, most 19th-century Agra productions will also be considered as superb art investments. See less
