During the Mughal era, India’s rug industry reached its peak, evolving into an art form in its own right. In the late 16th century, Emperor Akbar established weaving hubs in Agra, Delhi, and Lahore, producing Persian-influenced designs. However, by the 17th century, Indian rugs had developed their own distinctive identity, featuring intricate patterns, silk-like wool, deep, rich colors, and detailed motifs. The unparalleled craftsmanship and artistic innovation behind these rugs have given them an enduring global appeal. Today, Agra rugs seamlessly blend Persian grandeur with unique Indian themes, characterized by floral tendrils, angular vines, stars, and scrolling foliage, often framed by bold floral borders.
