Story Behind the Art: Indian rugs reached their artistic pinnacle during the Mughal period, notably under Emperor Akbar, who founded major weaving hubs in Agra, Delhi, and Lahore in the late 16th century. Initially drawing inspiration from Persian rugs, Indian weavers gradually created a unique style by the 17th century, incorporating tighter knotting, silk-like wool, rich hues, and lifelike floral and botanical motifs. This fusion of skilled craftsmanship and original design has made Indian rugs a staple in luxury home décor worldwide. Agra rugs, in particular, showcase the perfect blend of Persian influence and Indian innovation, with intricate floral tendrils, angular vines, scrolling leaves, and large, detailed blossoms set within bold, elegant borders. Celebrated for their all-over patterns, vibrant colors, and enduring elegance, Agra rugs continue to be highly coveted by interior designers, collectors, and enthusiasts of authentic, handcrafted rugs.
