Antique Agra Oriental Rug 41269
Antique Agra rug, late nineteenth century - While many
nineteenth-century carpets strive to evoke the rich and elegant detail
of classical Persian and Mughal design, few actually capture it with
the skill and authenticity of this sumptuous antique Agra. Brilliantly
detailed palmettes and cloudbands dance alongside fine vines and birds
in this magnificent ornamental evocation of the natural world. But
however beautiful the field may be, it must share the stage with the
spectacular cartouche border, and together they rival the classical
forerunners that were their inspiration. Even the palette is faithful
to such models with its saturated reds, greens, lavenders, and
saffrons. Seen
