Antique Indian Agra Rug, Country Of Origin: India, Circa Date: 1900 – A finely detailed Persian ‘Herati’ or ‘Mahi’ design unfolds with minute precision in allover symmetry across the field of this sumptuous antique Indian Agra Oriental carpet. The finesse of the drawing is matched by the subtlety of the soft, ton-on-tone coloration, which makes the complexity of the patterning recede from the viewer’s attention. An elaborate vine scroll palmette main border encloses the field, although with a greater light on-dark-graphic contrast to produce a nice framing effect.
