Farnham Antique Carpets has dated this Antique Agra Wool Carpet to the 1880s.
We can see corrosion to the black/brown dyes typical of Agra carpets of this period. With pale blue/grey hints to the leafs and subtle gold tones too, this magnificent elegant carpet would enhance many a room. The spacing of the floral design is really excellent and allows the whole carpet to have great balance. This is a hardy durable antique Indian carpet over 140 years old, it would look fabulous in a drawing room, dining room or study for example. As it would add immense charm and character, especially in the right room setting.
The Indian city of Agra in the late 19th century was an area where carpet weaving began to excel, as carpets and rugs were commissioned 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.
