Object Description

Antique Agra carpet with a rare ivory ground and border on this refined elegant design. A very fine weave and using wonderful dyes typical of Agra such as purple and golds. A carpet that would look perfect in a drawing room or study. The pile is a little lower in places but generally in good condition. The Indian city of Agra in the late 19th century was an area where carpet weaving began to excel, as carpets and rugs were comissioned for the western market.

Object History

Persian designs were used, but like Ziegler carpets the designs were generally enlarged to show beautiful palmettes and vines with mainly reds, purples, greens and ivory as the predominant colours.

We offer the service of viewing any of our carpets & rugs in-situ in London, Surrey, Hampshire & the UK by appointment.

Object Condition

The pile is a little lower in places but generally in good condition.
