About the Item
Oversized Antique Indian Agra Rug
Size: 14'10" × 17'4" (452 × 528 cm)
A breathtaking example of antique Indian textile artistry, this oversized Agra rug from the early 20th century exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and decorative sophistication for which the city of Agra became world-renowned. Created circa 1900, the carpet boasts a generous size, making it ideally suited for grand interiors, formal living spaces, or gallery-scale settings.
The rug features an allover boteh motif—a classic Persian-influenced design that resembles a stylized paisley or floral teardrop. Arranged in an immaculate lattice formation, the boteh motifs are aligned in diagonal rows across the field, each echoing the shape of the others but with subtle, unique variations in their intricate detailing. These motifs convey a sense of rhythmic movement and understated elegance.
The field is framed by a series of multiple complementary borders, which balance geometric patterning with delicate floral and vine-like elements. The primary border showcases a scrolling floral vine intertwined with diamond and zigzag forms, offering a soft contrast to the more structured field. The layering of inner and outer guard borders further adds depth and balance.
The rug's palette is both refined and refreshing, dominated by cool slate blues, muted teals, and subtle blush peach tones set against a soft ivory-beige ground. This harmonious blend of colors gives the rug a calming presence, perfect for interiors seeking a sense of serenity with a touch of historical richness.
Woven in the prestigious looms of Agra, the rug is made of high-quality wool, which imparts a luxuriously soft texture and enduring strength. The precise knotting technique and crisp definition of the boteh motifs reflect the high skill level of the artisans. Despite its age, the rug maintains a beautifully aged patina that enhances its vintage charm without sacrificing structural integrity.
Rooted in both Persian and Mughal artistic traditions, Agra rugs of this period are known for blending opulence with order. This particular example is distinguished not only by its large scale and fine detail but also by its elegant minimalism—achieved through disciplined design repetition and a restricted, tasteful color range.
A prime example of the exclusive and varied Doris Leslie Blau designs, this rug brings luxury and character to any space. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
