This particular design is inspired by a "delicious" antique Agra rug from the first half of the 19th century—a piece discovered during our deep curation of textile history.
On the Design:

This rug is a masterclass in color and lineage, anchored by an unusual light teal field that feels both bright and inherently warm. This specific tone was selected to breathe new life into the Ghazni wool construction, allowing the natural luster of the fiber to illuminate the "shrub carpet" architecture. The field is alive with a sprawling arabesque trellis, a sophisticated floral geometry that mirrors the most coveted garden carpets of the 1800s.

The border serves as a powerful counterpoint, featuring a richly saturated red that houses grand palmettes—a visual testament to the marriage of Indian and Persian design sensibilities. Within this frame, observers will find a curated dance of beige, cream, and soft gold accents that define the floral scrolls.

Every inch of this rug is an intentional contribution to the history of folk art, offering a sophisticated, smart new language that honors the "shrub" and "palmette" motifs of antiquity while providing a contemporary level of tactile comfort. See less
