{"product_id":"beige-handknotted-wool-aor21783","title":"Beige Gold 5'10''x8'10'' Transitional Agra Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug","description":"Rich in detail, this beige and gold transitional Agra is a hand knotted wool Oriental area rug that rewards a closer look. At its heart, diamonds in brown, gold, blue and rust join into a harlequin patchwork, and each diamond carries its own flower pattern. Around the outside, a cream border of scrolling vines and rosettes holds the composition together. The palette is warm and balanced, so the variety feels harmonious, and the fine detail inside each diamond stays distinct. Artisans tie the wool by hand to create a dense pile that rebounds after footsteps and copes well with busy households, pets and kids included. Short fringe marks the ends. Choose this handmade rug for a living room, a bedroom, a dining room, an entryway or a home office wherever you want pattern with personality. Rust and cream blend easily with natural wood, deep blues and warm browns. Routine vacuuming on a gentle setting keeps the pile clean and even. It is a transitional piece for people who love intricate design. Every flower, vine and rosette is worked by hand, so this wool rug carries the patience of its artisans and a softness that feels welcoming underfoot from the first morning to the last evening.\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: Beige, Gold, Aqua, Orange, Brown, 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#: AOR21783\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":68015091024092,"sku":"AOR21783","price":799.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A21783.jpg?v=1793618774","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/beige-handknotted-wool-aor21783","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
