This is a brand new palace size oriental Agra rug, hand-knotted in India in the classic Agra and Mahal tradition. A soft ivory field is covered edge to edge with an allover floral design, with no central medallion, built from a lattice of vines, palmettes, and serrated leaves and anchored at the corners by large dark cartouches. A wide camel gold border of bold rosettes and palmettes frames the field on all sides. At nearly 12 by 19 feet this is a true palace and ballroom scale piece, and its light, open palette keeps a rug this large feeling calm and elegant rather than heavy.

Design and Motifs

The ivory field carries a balanced allover pattern of large palmettes, fan-shaped blossoms, serrated leaves, and slender connecting vines, with deep navy and brown cartouches set into each corner to ground the composition. There is no central medallion, so the eye travels evenly across the whole field, which suits the rug's generous proportions. The wide camel border is filled with a stately procession of rosettes and palmettes between ivory floral guard stripes, giving the piece a formal, finished frame on every side.

Colors and Placement

The palette is soft and warm, led by ivory and camel gold with navy, green, rust, rose, and tan picked out through the florals. This restrained, decorator-friendly coloring makes it an easy rug to build a room around at scale, suited to large living rooms, great rooms, open-plan spaces, formal dining rooms, and grand entryways where a brighter rug would overwhelm. As one of our palace size rugs, at roughly 12 by 19 feet it anchors a full seating arrangement with room to spare and reads beautifully in both traditional and transitional interiors.

Origin and Construction

This rug was hand-knotted in India in the Agra tradition, using durable wool pile on a cotton foundation at roughly 140 to 160 knots per square inch, with a comfortable 3/8 inch pile height. The weave is even and substantial, built to carry its allover pattern crisply across a palace-size span and to wear well for decades under heavy use. It is brand new and has never been used.
