shipped with a pad
Since the notable period of Mughal/Mogul Empire, one prominent area for stellar woven rugs is Agra, India and weaving goes back to circa 1500. Agra is also of course known for the Taj Mahal! This lovely rug, from circa 1870 with an all over design and gorgeous color ways speaks for itself. These hand woven works of art are known for their amazing palette of color.
Mogul emperors respected and loved the Persian arts and culture and because they wanted to adopt, learn and replicate in their own country, Persian weavers ended up divulging their skills and craft to India. Agra carpets became popular and the elite of Indian weavings and are widely known by collectors as one of the most decorative items in the rug world.
This is a custom sized piece from a larger Agra with new life. It was woven by women with all natural, vegetable dyed wool.
