Antique Agra Indian Allover Floral Ivory And Blush Hand-Knotted Cotton Carpet – Circa 1920 BB8511 14'7" × 17'2" $130,000

This exquisite 1920s Indian Cotton Agra rug embodies the refined elegance of early 20th-century Indian weaving traditions, where artistry and subtlety meet in perfect harmony. Handwoven from soft, durable cotton, the rug presents a luminous peach-blush ground enhanced by delicate ivory and pale apricot motifs, offering both warmth and sophistication to any interior.

The design is a masterclass in symmetry and balance, featuring an all-over lattice of stylized floral sprays and palmettes arranged in vertical rows, interconnected by fine vinery. The borders, framed in a complementary lighter tone, carry a series of larger blossoms and trailing vines, seamlessly enclosing the central field while adding a touch of grandeur.

What distinguishes this Agra rug is its gentle tonal palette—a soft interplay of faded pastels and warm neutrals that creates a serene, almost ethereal quality. Subtle abrash across the field enhances its antique character, lending the piece depth and movement while attesting to its age and authenticity.

This oversized rug is a statement of both artistry and versatility. Whether placed in a formal drawing room, a modern loft, or a refined dining space, its understated elegance and timeless appeal make it an enduring treasure.

A true testament to the legacy of Agra weaving, this cotton rug reflects the period’s sensitivity to design and texture, offering not only beauty but also durability for generations to come.
