Antique Agra Oriental Rugs 44887

Agra Rug, India, Late 19th Century - This lush millefleur carpet features an airy allover pattern with uniquely Indian design traits. Well-defined irises, shrubs and trees with branching limbs dot the creamy white field in a tightly grouped arrangement that allows just enough of the neutral background to show through. Cerulean blue borders decorated with cypress trees, a traditional symbol of longevity, frame the colorful field and offset the brilliant magenta borders that feature reciprocating vinescrolls. Contrasting outlines highlight the detailed leaves and stems of the repeating floral motifs while light blue foliage paired with bright accents in mustard yellow, celadon and magenta add a touch of modernity to this formal millefleur carpet.
