Story Behind the Art: The rug industry in India soared to its peak during the Mughal reign, emerging as a distinctive form of art. Emperor Akbar's establishment of rug weaving centers in Agra, Delhi, and Lahore during the late 16th century initially resulted in rugs mirroring Perzia aesthetics. However, by the 17th century, Indian rugs evolved with their own distinct lexical and semantic iconography, straying notably from Perzia influences. Noteworthy for their tight weaving, silk-like wool, vibrant color range, and lifelike motifs, Indian rugs emerged as unique expressions of craftsmanship. This fusion of painstaking artistry and masterful manipulation of design elements endowed Indian rugs with an enduring charm, transcending both boundaries and epochs. Today, Agra rugs seamlessly blend the magnificence of renowned Perzia antique designs with their distinct thematic elements. Celebrated for their use of floral tendrils, angular vines, and stars, Agra rugs feature all-over angular compositions adorned with gracefully scrolling leaves, vines, and large finely detailed flowers bordered by bold floral patterns.
