72059 Antique Indian Agra Rug, 06'00 X 15'00. 

With architectural elements of natualistic forms and earth-tone colors, this hand knotted wool antique Indian Agra gallery rug beautifully embodies Arts and Crafts style. A dense all-over nature-inspired pattern composed of blooming palmettes, undulating cloudbands, leafy tendrils, rosettes, floral sprays, and serrated leaves all connected by rhythmic and fluid vines. It is enclosed with a Shah Abbas palmette border flanked with meander floral guard bands. 

The overall composition is distinctly reminiscent of the Arts & Crafts movement carpet designs of late nineteenth and early twentieth century England. The Arts & Crafts movement celebrated craftsmanship and simple, informal folk styles of decoration. Leading designers of the movement, such as William Morris and C.F.A. Voysey, embraced hand-knotted rug making and crafted high-quality woven textiles in contrast to the overly decorative manufactured goods popular at the time. This antique Agra rug continues the tradition of the Arts & Crafts movement and Donegal workshops, displaying a bold, symmetrical design and earthy color palette informed by the natural world. This piece would be a wonderful addition to any interior especially one inspired by the Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau or Prairie School movements.

Perfect for a state room, great room, drawing room, lounge area, narrow dining room, long living room, hotel lobby, corridor, walkway, open entry, wide hallway, grand foyer, designer entryway, kitchen, or bedroom.
