An antique Indian Lahore 9' x 12' room size rug handmade during the early 20th century featuring an all-over weeping willow tree pattern over a camel background. The city of Agra was the Mughal capital from 1566-1569 and again from 1601-1658 and is the site of the Taj Mahal, which was built in the 17th century. Handmade rugs have been made in Agra since the Mughal period and it is probable that some of the great carpets of this period were made there. The Indians themselves had never had much need for large carpets and the craft was introduced relatively late. During the 17th century, a number of skilful Persians were called in to impart their weaving knowledge in India. Large carpet factories were started in Lahore; the patterns as well as the knotting closely resembled Persian work. A number of antique carpets from this time are now found in museums throughout Europe and America. Since the end of the 19th century, carpets in India have been primarily woven to order and have been made with the finest quality in mind. Now, Indian carpets are considered some of the most decorative pieces internationally.
Measures: 9' 5" x 12' 8".
