Handcrafted in India, this Wattal Agra rug is a masterful interpretation of the classical Mughal-era carpet designs once woven in the imperial workshops of Agra. Renowned for their grandeur and balance of colour, Agra rugs reflect the sophisticated artistry that flourished under Persian influence during the 16th and 17th centuries.
This exquisite piece features a soft ivory field framed by a deep rust-red border, where an intricate display of palmettes, lotus blossoms, and scrolling vines unfolds with perfect symmetry. Each motif is executed with remarkable clarity and proportion, demonstrating the artisan’s skill in achieving both harmony and movement within the design.
Woven by hand using fine wool pile on a cotton foundation, the Wattal Agra rug offers durability and a luxurious underfoot texture. The naturally dyed palette—comprising warm terracottas, muted greens, and soft taupes—creates a gentle contrast that enhances the rug’s sense of depth and refinement.
Measuring with precision and constructed to last for generations, this rug embodies the traditional techniques of Indian craftsmanship while maintaining the elegance suited to modern and classical interiors alike. Whether placed in a drawing room, dining space, or formal hallway, the Wattal Agra serves not only as a floor covering but as a work of textile art—rich in history, meticulous in execution, and timeless in appeal.
