{"product_id":"ivory-handknotted-newzealandwool-aor21471","title":"Ivory Gold 6'2''x8'9'' Traditional Agra Hand Knotted New Zealand Wool Oriental Area Rug","description":"Step into timeless elegance with this Ivory Gold traditional Agra hand knotted New Zealand wool Oriental area rug, a handmade rug drawn from the grand tradition of nineteenth century Agra weaving. A cream ground is adorned with large-scale botanical motifs and delicate vines that curl gracefully across the field, while a commanding gold border frames the whole composition with royal poise. Radiant golden hues sit beside cooler jewel accents, giving the design a luminous, layered depth that shifts gently as the day moves on. Skilled artisans knot every inch by hand from New Zealand wool, and a hand-sheared cut pile lets the yarn show its natural brilliance while creating a velvety, luxurious texture underfoot. Because the palette blends so fluidly, the rug sits comfortably beside timber furnishings and classic decor, and its vintage-inspired botanical styling suits a formal living room, a serene bedroom, a dining room, an entryway or a home office. Treat it as the statement rug that gives your room a sense of history, warmth and refined confidence, a graceful piece you will enjoy walking across and looking at every single day.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 6'2\"x8'9\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: New Zealand Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Ivory, Gold, Sage, Blush, Chocolate, Aqua, Navy, Multi,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.75 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: AOR21471\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":67666571100380,"sku":"AOR21471","price":699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A21471.jpg?v=1791538063","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/ivory-handknotted-newzealandwool-aor21471","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
