$18,800.00

Antique Agra Indian Red 1890s Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This magnificent example of late 19th-century weaving represents the pinnacle of the Indian workshop tradition. Its expansive scale and refined palette make it a distinguished piece among antique rugs of the period. The field is dominated by a saturated, deep wine-red, providing a dramatic ground for the intricate floral tracery. The secondary tones, particularly the muted, luminous red, create a striking contrast, highlighting the depth of the dye work. This rare use of the shade elevates it beyond typical examples, placing it firmly within the category of red color rugs. The design employs a highly sophisticated, repeating lattice of stylized palmettes and delicate vine work. Unlike medallion formats, this piece utilizes an allover design that ensures visual continuity and balance across the entire surface.
