On the Design:

This piece hosts a rich beige-brown field underscoring geometric patterns in the all over style around the medallion, along with red, cream, and blue accents. Keen eyes will further admire the deft hand such finely drawn patterns enjoy in this piece. Radiating with a traditional sensibility influenced by both Persian and Mughal design elements, this antique Agra rug has aged beautifully and offers a window into the royal aesthetics of the past. The varied definition of blue between the field motifs and the meandering borders is what lends the already engaging, cultured beige character scrolls a more profound sense of movement, speaking to the collectibility of this piece and an intricacy befitting the regal nature so seldom seen in antique Agra rugs of this particular size. Connoisseurs will appreciate that this piece’s marriage of color and comfortable, sophisticated pattern in such versatile size and excellent craftsmanship are all exemplary of R&K Principal’s personal favorite Agra carpets of this period.

Condition:

This antique Agra rug is in great condition, with only mild wear consistent with the age of this traditional rug—mainly relegated to the central border, not discernible in the colorway. See less
