Agra Indian Antique Allover Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Cotton Rug – Circa 1940 BB8725 5'10" × 12'0" $17,000

This exceptional 1940s Indian Agra cotton rug captures the understated refinement and artistry for which Agra weavers are celebrated. Woven entirely of cotton, the rug presents a soft, tactile surface with a luminous patina that has aged beautifully over time.

The design is characterized by an allover lattice of stylized floral medallions and geometric rosettes, arranged in rhythmic, horizontal rows. Subtle symmetry defines the composition, while delicate shifts in shape and scale introduce a gentle sense of movement across the field.

The palette is a hushed harmony of pale ivory, faded peach, soft amber, and muted gray-green, with each hue appearing softly blurred, lending the impression of watercolor washes across the surface. The result is a light and airy aesthetic, perfectly suited to both traditional and modern interiors.

The rug is framed by narrow borders filled with repeating diamond motifs and stylized blossoms, enclosing the field without interrupting its spacious, open feel. Its fine weaving and timeless design embody the blend of Persian influence and Indian interpretation that Agra rugs are known for.

Ideal for collectors and connoisseurs alike, this antique cotton Agra rug is a rare example of subtle elegance, historic craftsmanship, and versatile beauty, making it a distinguished addition to any interior. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
