This piece is a striking addition to Rug & Kilim's Modern Classics collection, masterfully balancing historic character with contemporary artistry and a highly tactile, distinctive texture.

On the Design:

The rich carpet-weaving legacy of Agra dates back to the 16th-century Mughal Empire, when Emperor Akbar famously established weaving workshops in the city. The emperor invited master Persian artisans whose sophisticated techniques fused with local Indian artistry to create an entirely new, opulent look. These historical Agra carpets became renowned for their grand botanical themes, unique color palettes, and enduring elegance. This contemporary rug draws from those deep floral traditions, reimagining the classic Agra carpet through a softer, more painterly lens.

Stylized palmettes, scrolling vines, and botanical elements unfold gracefully across the field, rendered in a striking palette of vibrant fuschia and raspberry pinks alongside forest green. These bold hues are set against a warm, softly textured ground of chocolate brown and beige. A gently erased look allows the ornate pattern to emerge gradually rather than all at once, yielding an atmospheric and layered composition. Rich in detail and effortlessly easy to live with, this piece preserves the richness of traditional Agra craftsmanship while offering a timeless, fresh character perfectly suited for grand, modern interiors. The accompanying book, Bitten By Witch Fever by Lucinda Hawksley, is part of Volumes by Rug & Kilim. The book (SKU - B257) can be acquired independently through our bookstore.
