  This massive late antique Indian Agra rug presents a grand all-over design filled with intricate floral medallions, scrolling vines, and lush palmettes arranged in symmetrical rows across the spacious ivory field. Large central and multiple secondary medallions feature elaborate curvilinear details, surrounded by dense corner spandrels and wide borders packed with repeating floral garlands, arabesques, and geometric guard bands. The soft, faded colors from natural dyes create a harmonious, aged elegance that highlights the exceptional scale and fine knotting of this piece.

  Agra rugs from the late 19th to early 20th century often drew heavily from classic Persian designs, especially those of Kashan and Isfahan, but adapted them with slightly softer palettes and more open spacing to suit grand interiors. These large-scale weavings were crafted with high knot counts using wool pile on cotton foundations, resulting in durable yet luxurious pieces prized for their opulence. This example’s expansive size and detailed all-over pattern make it a rare statement piece with authentic antique character.

  Perfect for very large formal living rooms, great halls, or expansive dining areas where it can fully cover the floor and serve as the room’s centerpiece. The grand proportions allow it to anchor oversized furniture groupings while the ivory field keeps the space feeling light and airy despite the intricate details. Its excellent antique condition and timeless traditional style ensure it remains a sophisticated, heirloom-quality addition to any distinguished home.
