Large Ardabil Design Antique Indian Agra Rug, Country of Origin: India,  Circa Date: 1890’s – Representing a truly magnificent achievement in rug making, this amazing antique Indian Agra rug is actually closely modeled after one of the very greatest carpets ever made — the famous Ardabil carpet, which was originally made in Northern Persia in the early part of the sixteenth century. A stunning antique rug from India, this piece is characterized by a scalloped circular medallion with pendant ogives radiating outward like a grand rose window on a medieval church — complete with masterfully done detail work. Within and around the medallions the entire field sprawls with delicate floral and arabesque detail. A magnificent cartouche border frames the entire composition with consummate classical grace. Area rugs like this are truly stunning and beautiful.

Finding antique rugs like this is an exciting occurrence. Gazing upon this antique Indian Ardabil deign Agra carpet for hours is the only way to truly see all that is incorporated into the design. A stunning red and cream crest is featured in the center along with swirls of flowers and stems. Within the swirls are additional designs that help to add character to the rug from end to end. In addition to the main design, there are four separate borders. The first border is red with white flowers while the second is cream colored with geometric shapes. The third is larger and includes incredibly designed designs while the fourth mimics the swirls from the interior design.

The long runner style allows for the design to repeat itself over and over again down the length of 19 feet. Each design is perfectly symmetrical, allowing you to see a mirror image on the right of what’s on the left. The stunning hues penetrate the delicate material for an incredible splash of color that is ideal for anyone who loves red, cream and gray. The colors are also ideal for portraying all of the incredible designs that tell a story about nature. With each design, you can see a new artifact from Mother Earth – the Tree of Life, flowers, leaves, acorns and much more. Some say there are mountains in the corners, too, allowing for you to be transported to a faraway place simply by choosing an Agra carpet.
