Antique Agra Oriental Rug 41735

Indian Rug, Persia, Early 20th Century - One hardly senses the compact richness of the Herati pattern on this antique lovely Agra since much if it is rendered in soft tones that recede into the ground color. Only the details in deep burgundy stand out like the smile of Lewis Carroll's Cheshire Cat, suggesting a simpler more open pattern. The border repeats this "now you see it, now you don't" approach, giving the carpet a unified decorative effect.
