A true work of art on a monumental scale, this antique Agra rug (11.6 × 23.1 ft) evokes the elegance of India’s royal past through its lush, painterly design. The deep indigo field is a garden in full bloom - where symmetrical vines, trees of life, and regal flora intertwine with delicate animals, architectural columns, and arabesques. Its vertical balance and mirrored layout reflect the influence of Mughal artistry and Persian symmetry, creating a composition that’s both majestic and serene.
The border, rendered in warm golds and sandy beige, forms a finely detailed floral frame around the scene, offering visual rest and refinement. Woven in the famed looms of Agra, this extraordinary piece carries the richness of natural dyes and the grace of age with a soft abrash and dignified patina. Ideal for palatial interiors, galleries, or collectors with a taste for historical grandeur.
