12'1''x17'10'' Hand Knotted New Zealand Wool Burgundy, Black Agra Traditional Plush Pile Botanical Rug
Burgundy sets the ground for this hand-knotted Agra, carrying a dense, all over pattern of scrolling leaves, palmettes, and small floral clusters in gold, green, moss, and peach. Hand-knotted from New Zealand wool on a cotton foundation, this rug has a plush, high pile that gives the botanical pattern real texture and dimension underfoot. The scale and density of the pattern give this piece a formal presence that suits a large living room or dining space, while the plush pile keeps it comfortable for everyday use. *Note: the color of your rug may appear slightly different in person than it does on screen. This happens because device displays tend to oversaturate color, and because the pile's height causes it to catch and reflect light differently depending on the direction it's brushed, which can shift how a shade reads from one angle to the next. We've done our best to photograph this rug in a way that reflects its true tone, and we'd recommend watching the video below for a more accurate sense of its colors before you order. If you're still unsure, feel free to give us a call and we're happy to walk you through it.

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.
