Fine Antique Indian Agra Rug, Country of Origin / Type of Rug: Indian Rugs, Circa Date: 1900 – Featuring a brilliant fiery color scheme that emphasizes the contrast of colors, this elegant antique Indian Agra rug is designed to dazzle and define. Through the use of two primary colors, royal ruby red and gentle sandy beige, the artist is free to define motion in a much more encapsulating way, establishing points of contact with wavy fines and floral forms along the center and border of the antique Indian rug itself. Several borders surround one another and lead the viewer’s eyes inward, where the vast majority of the activity takes place. Here, swirling dark perennials and leaves dance around each other against the pleasantly understated background of this antique rug.
