Story Behind the Art: The Indian rug industry, which reached its artistic peak during the Mughal era, particularly under Emperor Akbar, is a fascinating story of evolution. During the late 16th century, Akbar established weaving centers in Agra, Delhi, and Lahore, leading to a golden period in the Indian rug-making industry. Initially influenced by Persian styles, Indian weavers began incorporating tighter knotting, silk-like wool, rich color palettes, and lifelike motifs, which evolved into the distinct visual language seen in Indian rugs today. Among these, Agra rugs stand out for blending the grandeur of Persian tradition with unique Indian creativity. Known for their floral tendrils, angular vines, scrolling leaves, and large, finely detailed blossoms, Agra rugs favor all-over patterns that radiate elegance and complexity, embodying the rich craftsmanship and creativity of Indian rug-making.
