{"product_id":"brown-handknotted-wool-aor21818","title":"Brown Ivory 6x8'10'' Traditional Agra Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug","description":"Rich and earthy, this brown and ivory traditional Agra is a hand knotted wool Oriental area rug that brings a Persian style layout into the modern home. The field is an olive brown shade carrying orderly rows of palmettes and flowers, painted in cream, rust and gold, and around it runs a wide golden cream border whose palmettes are drawn in rust and green. Cream fringe finishes each end. Because the rows are spaced at steady intervals, the eye travels easily over the design and the room feels settled. Knotting by hand in dense wool produces a pile that rebounds from footsteps and stays friendly toward pets and kids. Try this Agra rug in an entryway to greet visitors, in a home office to warm the workday, in a living room for a classic look, or in a dining room or bedroom for added comfort. Rust, cream and deep green accents sit well alongside the brown and gold. A gentle vacuum setting keeps the surface even. The ivory tones brighten the deeper shades, and the finished piece has a welcoming, earthy glow.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 6x8'10\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Brown, Ivory, Rust, Green, Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: AOR21818\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":68264411234524,"sku":"AOR21818","price":999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A21818.jpg?v=1794563435","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/brown-handknotted-wool-aor21818","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
