{"product_id":"aqua-handknotted-wool-aor21973","title":"Aqua Slate 5'10''x8'10'' Traditional Agra Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug","description":"Classic Agra character meets a lively color story in this Aqua Slate traditional Oriental area rug, hand knotted in wool. Soft blue, gold and brick red share the field in a compartment design that keeps the eye moving, with slanted panels filled by tiny floral motifs. A border of cream and gold carries vines, medallions and touches of peach around the whole composition, and the cream ground lets every hue stay bright. Aqua and slate notes cool the warmer reds and golds, so the palette feels balanced rather than busy. The wool pile is firm and even in height, which keeps the drawing crisp, and both ends finish in pale fringe for a traditional touch. Bring this Agra into a living room to set the tone for the seating area, lay it in a dining room beneath the table, or use it to give a bedroom or home office a splash of heritage color. In an entryway it makes a confident first impression. A handmade wool rug with this much personality turns a plain floor into the focal point of the room.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 5'10\"x8'10\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Aqua, Slate, Brown, Gray, Multi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.5 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: AOR21973\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eStory Behind the Art: The Indian carpet-weaving tradition experienced significant artistic development during the Mughal period, particularly under Emperor Akbar, when important weaving centers were established in cities including Agra, Delhi, and Lahore during the late 16th century. Although early examples were strongly influenced by Persian textile traditions, Indian artisans gradually developed their own recognizable approach through increasingly detailed knotting, refined wool, expressive color combinations, and naturalistic decorative motifs. Agra rugs became particularly associated with grand compositions featuring scrolling floral tendrils, angular vines, broad leaves, palmettes, and generously scaled blossoms. Many designs favor elaborate all-over arrangements surrounded by substantial decorative borders, creating a sense of rhythm and visual richness across the entire surface. This combination of Persian-inspired structure and Indian decorative interpretation helped establish Agra rugs as an enduring category within traditional hand-knotted carpet design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Oriental Rug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68067694346460,"sku":"AOR21973","price":800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A21973.jpg?v=1793860901","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/aqua-handknotted-wool-aor21973","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
