11'11''x17'9'' Hand Knotted New Zealand Wool Beige, Black Agra Traditional Botanical Rug
Bring a sense of grand, classic elegance and enduring craftsmanship into your home. Hand-knotted from premium New Zealand wool on a durable cotton foundation, this expansive Agra rug reflects the refined botanical style long associated with the region's weaving tradition. The warm beige field is covered edge to edge in a dense, flowing arrangement of scrolling vines, palmettes, and small floral rosettes, centered on a subtle medallion that echoes outward in soft green, rust, and gold tones. A deep black border frames the piece, filled with bold palmette medallions and trailing floral vines in gold, sage, and maroon. Well suited to formal living rooms, dining spaces, or any room that calls for a rug with real presence, this piece carries the kind of depth and detail that only comes from traditional hand-knotting. *Note: the color of your rug may appear slightly different in person than it does on screen. Device displays tend to oversaturate color, and the height of the pile catches and reflects light differently depending on which direction it's brushed, which can shift how a shade reads from one angle to another. We've done our best to photograph this rug so the colors come through accurately, and we'd suggest watching the video below to get a truer sense of its tones before ordering.

Initially influenced by Persian styles, these early rugs gradually evolved their own distinct visual language by the 17th century. Indian weavers began incorporating tighter knotting, silk-like wool, rich color palettes, and lifelike motifs—elements that would come to define the Indian rug aesthetic. This fusion of intricate craftsmanship and original design has given Indian rugs a timeless appeal and a global following. Among them, 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 framed by bold borders, Agra rugs favor all-over patterns that radiate elegance and complexity.
