The Indian rug industry reached its artistic peak during the Mughal era, especially under Emperor Akbar in the late 1500s, who started weaving centers in cities like Agra, Delhi, and Lahore. At first, the designs followed Persian styles, but by the 1600s, Indian rugs developed their own unique look. Weavers began using tighter knots, silky wool, rich colors, and lifelike designs—features that became trademarks of Indian rugs. This blend of fine craftsmanship and original patterns gave Indian rugs timeless charm and international appeal. Among them, Agra rugs are especially admired for mixing Persian grandeur with Indian creativity. These rugs are known for their elegant all-over patterns with floral vines, curved leaves, and large, detailed blossoms, all framed by bold borders that add to their rich and intricate appearance.
