Indian rugs
, Collection of fine antique Agra rugs and Amrtisar carpets
Indian rugs were produced with Persian influence and commonly feature cotton and silk in the pile. However little is known about rug production prior to the Mughal era because few have survived. Patterns are typically made with silk with gold or silver thread for brocades. The primary materials used are cotton, silk and wool in Indian textiles. Colors often used are red, blue, purple, green, yellow and black. The most well known antique rugs from India come from the areas of Agra and Amritsar. Also India is known for their fine shawls and embroideries.
