{"product_id":"blue-handknotted-newzealandwool-aor21993","title":"Blue Brown 6'1''x9 Traditional Agra Hand Knotted New Zealand Wool Oriental Area Rug","description":"Rich warmth defines this blue and brown Traditional Agra, a hand knotted New Zealand wool Oriental area rug with an antique reproduction spirit. Medallions and curling vines in sage and gold drift across a field of burgundy plum, and around them runs a broad amber border of tiny florals and palmettes drawn like paisleys. The border seems to glow, and cream fringe, soft to the eye, frames each end like a finishing touch. Every row is tied by hand using New Zealand wool, so the pile has a lustrous shine and a springy lift, with a depth of color that suits any hour of the day. Handmade with care, it offers the kind of classic pattern that makes a living room feel settled, a dining room feel gathered and a bedroom feel restful. An entryway or a home office can borrow the same traditional character. If a warm, deep palette and vintage-inspired style appeal to you, this Agra area rug answers with plenty of heritage and plenty of color. The deep burgundy plum ground gives the gold and sage details a rich backdrop, while the amber border brightens the edges and ties the whole palette together. The balanced layout feels at ease in formal rooms and relaxed ones alike.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 6'1\"x9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: New Zealand Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Blue, Brown, Gold, Rose, Black, Multi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: AOR21993\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":68077692747996,"sku":"AOR21993","price":800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A21993.jpg?v=1793946881","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/blue-handknotted-newzealandwool-aor21993","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
