Beautiful & Rare Antique Agra Carpet

1900 - 1920
Description

This is an exceptionally fine antique soft cotton or ''''Summer'''' rug from Agra in India dating from around 1900. These fine cotton carpets would have been more used during the warmest season and are made from cotton so fine it feels and handles like velvet. The carpet has a stunning floral central medallion set within an azure blue field. To the spandrels are stylised flowerheads and foliage. The multiple ivory borders have angular meandering vines flanked by soft terracotta guard stripes. The carpet has some very soft abrashing to the field, the colours are very pleasing and the carpet is in excellent condition overall with a neat even low pile. Rare to find in such good condition, the carpet measures 218 cms by 137 cms. It looks delightful down on the floor but makes a stunning wall hanging.

UK delivery is £20.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Agra carpets originated in northern India during the Mughal Empire, where carpet weaving flourished under royal patronage. Production evolved significantly in the nineteenth century, blending classical Persian design elements with distinct Indian aesthetic traditions to create large-format decorative floor coverings.

Traditional Agra carpets are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool pile woven onto a strong cotton warp and weft foundation. The wool is dyed using natural vegetable and mineral pigments to achieve deep, durable colours across complex patterns.

Authentic pieces are identified by their asymmetric hand-knotted construction, soft high-quality wool pile, and characteristic palette often featuring blue, cream, plum, or gold tones. They typically exhibit balanced central medallions surrounded by multi-bordered botanical motifs.

An antique Agra carpet serves as a focal foundation in a room, anchoring minimalist or contemporary furniture while adding warmth, texture, and historical depth. The classic medallion and border design frames seating arrangements effectively.

Regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush head prevents dirt from embedding into the pile. Professional specialist cleaning is recommended for stain removal, along with using a rug pad underneath to prevent friction wear and uneven stretching.
