On the Design

Designers and admirers of the craft alike will particularly appreciate its size—one of the best and most versatile one can find in Agra rugs of its period that lends to so many spaces today. Our Principal Jahanshah Nazmiyal calls this a particular finer weave and more beautiful drawing that admirers of the craft will appreciate among works of this provenance, especially for the scale and large-size which are equally sought-after by curators and designers today. Tones of peach and blush pink underscore floral patterns in the all over style, with rouge red and even subtle chartreuse accents in the cream tones the motifs favor. Keen eyes will further admire the deft hand such finely drawn patterns enjoy in this piece, and the overall balance of an elegant, yet comfortable mood almost like that of an Oushak—an exemplary find in Indian rugs of its period.
