Antique Agra - Cotton Indian Ivory 1920s Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exquisite example of Agra rugs from the early 20th century showcases the refined weaving traditions of Northern India. Woven primarily with cotton, this piece achieves a unique softness and subtle texture distinct from traditional wool carpets, highlighting the delicate craftsmanship of the period. The foundation of the design is a striking ivory field, which provides a luminous backdrop for the geometric lattice structure. This composition utilizes an allover pattern of interlocking diamonds, each centered by a stylized, stepped medallion rendered in faded coral and soft slate blue. The use of cotton allows the subtle variations in the dye lots to be particularly noticeable, adding depth to the visual texture.
