Agra / 11584

This Agra antique rug presents a quietly worn field of neutral wool punctuated by deep wine and muted ochre. At 8' 9" x 9' 7", its dense floral lattice and stepped corner motif sit within a layered border of cartouches and palmettes. The weave shows medium distress and even abrash, softening the original contrasts and lending a tactile, time-earned surface. Grounded in traditional Agra vocabulary, the palette reads as washed color and gentle patina, the wool retaining a dry, low-sheen hand. Border motifs remain legible despite softened borders and modest edge wear, a quality that underscores its age and use. Circa 1880 - 1900
