Antique Agra Indian Floral Allover Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1930 BB8688 4'0" × 6'9" $4,800

This antique Agra Indian rug, hand-knotted in wool circa 1930, captures the disciplined elegance associated with the Agra weaving tradition. Its allover layout favors repetition and balance over a single medallion, giving the piece a quietly formal presence.

Within the cream-beige lattice, each compartment holds floral rosettes and small geometric blossoms that read with remarkable clarity against the dark indigo field. Burgundy, teal, mint, and dusty pink accents enliven the drawing without upsetting its order, while the rich red border adds a fuller frame and echoes the field pattern at a larger scale. The overall effect is formal, but never static.

The low, textural wool pile softens the contrast and lends the design an inviting depth. Substantial enough to anchor a room yet detailed enough to reward close viewing, this antique Indian rug is an elegant choice for collected living rooms, studies, or layered interiors that call for refined pattern.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
