About the Item
Modern Indian Agra Runner Fragment Rug (size adjusted)
Size: 3'7" × 15'6" (109 × 472 cm)
Age: Antique
Color: Beige, Brown, Green, Red
Origin: India
Type: Agra
Style: Traditional
This striking Indian Agra runner is a carefully adjusted fragment of a larger antique carpet, meticulously repurposed to preserve the beauty and spirit of its origin. Woven in India in the 20th century, the runner showcases a sophisticated balance of traditional Agra motifs and bold colorwork, transformed into a modern and functional format.
The rug’s central field is adorned with a mirrored layout of palmettes, floral abstractions, and stylized vine scrolls rendered in soft ivory tones, dramatically offset by deep crimson, forest green, ochre, and navy accents. The dense arrangement of organic forms is further highlighted by robust outlines, adding visual structure to the otherwise free-flowing composition.
Rich borders featuring a sequence of geometric floral patterns frame the piece, lending depth and definition. Notably, the palette and patterning retain their saturated charm and historic intricacy despite the runner’s contemporary reconfiguration. Areas of gentle wear and age-related patina are visible and add to the textile’s storied character.
Perfect for hallways or narrow interior spaces, this rug is a testament to timeless Indian craftsmanship adapted for modern decorative use—an elegant union of the past and present.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. 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.
