Story Behind the Art: India’s rug tradition reached a remarkable pinnacle under the Mughals, especially during the reign of Akbar in the late 1500s, when royal ateliers flourished in Agra, Delhi, and Lahore. Though early court rugs reflected Persian taste, by the 17th century Indian weavers had developed a distinct visual language: tighter knot counts, wool with a silk-like hand, saturated colors, and botanicals rendered with lifelike finesse. Among these, Agra rugs became icons—melding Persian grandeur with uniquely Indian imagination. Hallmarks include meandering floral tendrils, angular vines, scrolling foliage, and large, meticulously drawn blossoms, all contained within assertive borders. Frequently arranged in refined allover layouts, Agra compositions communicate richness and complexity while retaining a tranquil, ordered elegance.
