Size: 11ft 7in x 11ft 9in (352 x 358cm).
Antique ‘Jail’ Agra carpet in a Timuri Baluch design.
Circa 1880.
It is suggested that these carpets were woven in the prisons of Agra, India during the latter part of the 19th century by prisoners of Timuri origin. The design is identical to carpets woven by the Timuri of western Afghanistan during the 19th century.
The carpet is of almost square size, the colours are wonderful with a richness and depth.
The Carpet is in excellent condition with very slight wear and almost full pile, there is some corrosion to the blacks. The carpet has a dense weave and an almost velvet like pile. This is one of the most outstanding carpets that I have handled in the last 30 years.
The carpet is suitable for normal domestic use.
The carpet has been hand washed and is ready for use or display.
