Object Description
A late 19th century antique Agra rug in excellent condition, with many animals all over the main field, such as lions, mice, birds and buffalo! A remarkable large rug with great colours and a lot of interest.
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. 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.
