This large antique Agra wool and cotton carpet originates from Northern India during the late nineteenth century in the nineteenth century Indian and Mughal style. The piece displays a deep blue and green ground field densely populated with botanical motifs, cypress trees, and animal figures, all framed by a wide red multi-band border containing geometric and floral patterns. The heavy floor covering incorporates a very thick pile throughout, alongside visible old, high quality repairs across the surface while remaining clean and ready for placement. Measuring 534 cm high by 430 cm wide with a depth of 2 cm, the oversized carpet provides substantial floor coverage for expansive living spaces. Homeowners today use this textile anchor in large reception rooms, drawing rooms, or traditional English country house interiors to warm timber floorboards and add rich colour underfoot.

FAQs

Agra carpets originated in northern India during the Mughal Empire in the 16th century, heavily influenced by Persian weaving traditions. Production experienced a major resurgence in the late 19th century, producing large-format carpets designed specifically for European estates and grand residences.

These carpets are hand-knotted using high-grade hand-spun wool for the pile, secured to a durable cotton warp and weft foundation. Historical examples utilized natural plant-based and mineral dyes to create soft, muted colour palettes.

Authentic 19th-century Agra carpets typically feature asymmetric knots, dense weave structures, and motif elements such as cypress trees, floral lattices, and animal forms. The wool possesses a soft hand-feel and characteristic colour variations known as abrash.

A large-scale carpet serves to anchor open-plan living areas or formal dining spaces by defining seating groups. Pairing detailed classical patterns with contemporary furniture or neutral upholstery balances pattern complexity with clean modern lines.

Vacuum gently using suction only to avoid catching delicate pile fibres. Professional hand-washing by a textile specialist is recommended for periodic deep cleaning, and using a high-quality rug pad prevents slippage and uneven wear.
