THE RUG IS OF A THICK WOOL PILE AND IS VERY HEAVY. IN EXCELLENT PRE-OWNED
CONDITION, THE RUG HAS ONLY BEEN USED IN A FORMAL LIVING ROOM THAT GETS
VERY LITTLE USE, MORE FOR SHOW THAN DAILY USE. THERE ARE NO NOTICEABLE
SIGNS OF WEAR. THERE ARE NO STAINS, HOLES, OR ODORS. THERE IS NO FADING IN
THE RUG. BLOCK-OUT DRAPES ARE USED IN THE ROOM SO VERY LITTLE EXPOSURE
TO SUN OR LIGHT. THE VACUUM HAS NEVER BEEN USED ON THE FRINGE, SO THE
FRINGE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, NO FRAYING. A THICK RUG PAD HAS ALWAYS
BEEN USED UNDERNEATH THE RUG.
THE RUG IS FROM VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE AGRA CARPETS OF INDIA. AGRA IS A BEAUTIFUL
CITY OF THE MUGHAL, FAMOUS FOR THEIR PATRONAGE OF ARTS, LITERATURE,
ARCHITECTURE, AND FOR ONE OF THE 7 WONDERS OF THE WORLD - THE TAJ MAHAL.
AGRA IS ALSO FAMOUS FOR IT'S EXQUISITELY MADE, HAND-KNOTTED AGRA RUGS WHICH
COMBINE THE GRANDEUR AND GRACE OF WELL-KNOWN PERSIAN COURT DESIGNS WITH
NEW MOTIFS OF THEIR OWN CREATION. OVERALL DESIGNS OF SPIRALING VINERY ARE
FREQUENTLY COMBINED WITH SMALL ANIMAL FORMS, SOMETIMES INCLUDING BIRDS,
ELEPHANTS, DINOSAURS OR PEOPLE.
THE WEAVERS OF AGRA WERE MASTERS AT VEGETABLE DYEING AND DEVELOPED A
UNIQUE PALETTE OF COLORS OF SOFT MID-TONE BLUES, RUST-REDS AND A
PROFUSION OF GOLDS.
THE AGRA RUG CONSISTS OF A WIDE RANGE OF ANTIQUE DESIGNS, WHICH ARE
PROMINENT FOR THEIR COLOR ATTRACTION, ELEGANCE OF SKETCHES AND ABOVE ALL,
THEIR FINENESS OF KNOTTING.
UNIVERSALLY RESPECTED BY BOTH COLLECTORS AND INTERIOR DESIGNERS, AGRA
RUGS ARE HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE AND UNIFY WITH BOTH THE TRADITIONAL AND
CONTEMPORARY DECOR.
