Agra Indian Antique Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1880 BB7441 5'0" × 9'0" $14,000

This antique Agra Indian rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1880, reflects the elegant carpet-weaving tradition of North India. Its composition feels distinctly formal, yet the softened handling of the drawing gives it a relaxed, livable quality.

A deep burgundy field is animated by an allover floral repeat of palmettes, rosettes, and scrolling foliate vines. The design is arranged with clear rhythm and balance, creating a dense but graceful surface that reads as both structured and organic. Ivory, beige, and pale blush accents lift the pattern, while the green outer border adds a fresh tonal frame and heightens the rug’s visual depth.

The result is a richly ornamented antique Indian rug with the warmth collectors and designers value in Agra pieces: refined, atmospheric, and adaptable. Its wool pile and time-softened patina enhance the sense of age, making it a natural choice for interiors that call for historic character, color, and a formal floral presence.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
