Antique Indian Agra Circa 1880

Description

A lovely antique circa 1880 Indian hand woven Agra rug. During much of the history of the Indian Mughal Empire, Agra was the capital, and architects, artists and artisan, including carpet weavers, were brought here from all over the Muslim world to enhance the city’s beauty. The remarkable architecture of Agra still exists today. From the early 17th century onward, wonderful rugs and carpets were woven there, most in allover palmette patterns on rich red grounds. These antique Indian carpets have always been desirable as aristocratic room décor.
