{"product_id":"gold-handknotted-wool-aor21956","title":"Gold Aubergine 5'10''x8'7'' Traditional Agra Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug","description":"Sunlit and settled, this gold and aubergine traditional Agra is a hand knotted wool Oriental area rug that makes a room feel instantly welcoming. Its palette begins with golden amber and soft sage teal, a combination that reads warm without ever turning heavy. Covering the gold ground is a floral lattice that repeats edge to edge, drawn in cream, brown and rust, while a deep aubergine undertone adds quiet richness. A teal border, generous in width and set with bold medallions, surrounds it all. Step closer and you will see subtle tonal shifts moving through the gold, and each motif is drawn with sharp outlines. Artisans tie every knot by hand in wool, resulting in a dense, springy pile that vacuums with little effort and treats pets and kids kindly. Its antique reproduction styling and Persian-style warmth suit a living room built around comfortable seating, yet the rug is just as happy under a dining table, beside a bed, in an entryway or in a home office. Choose this handmade Agra for a sunny, easygoing foundation that keeps every room feeling cheerful.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 5'10\"x8'7\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Gold, Aubergine, Rust, Ivory, Taupe, Multi\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#: AOR21956\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":68067691757788,"sku":"AOR21956","price":700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A21956.jpg?v=1793860858","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/gold-handknotted-wool-aor21956","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
