Moss Green 8x9'10'' Traditional Agra 150 KPSI Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug

Moss green and gold come together in this traditional Agra, a 150 KPSI hand knotted wool Oriental area rug built on 150 knots per square inch of fine detail. Blossoms in cream, red and green are linked in a repeating lattice across a field of golden tan. Framing it all is a deep olive border of scrolling vines that carries cream and rust flowers, followed by a narrow band of tan at the very edge. The rhythm is orderly, and the dark green border grounds the warm gold tones beautifully. A dense wool pile cushions each step, suits pets and kids, and ends in cream fringe. Place this Agra rug in an entryway, a home office, a living room, a bedroom or a dining room, where the Persian style layout lends a timeless note. Brown, rust and cream accents sit well alongside the gold and olive. Vacuum regularly with the brush roll off to keep the pile fresh. Handmade and richly colored, it is meant for anyone who loves a green and gold pairing. Its tidy repeat and deep color make it an easy anchor for traditional rooms.

Story 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.
