Story Behind the Art: The heritage of Indian rug weaving flourished during the Mughal era, especially under Emperor Akbar in the late 16th century, when master workshops were founded in Agra, Delhi, and Lahore. Early Indian rugs drew inspiration from Persian carpets, but by the 17th century, the craft evolved into a distinct style recognized for its fine wool, vivid yet balanced color palettes, and naturally flowing design motifs. Among these traditions, Agra rugs became celebrated for their large-scale blossoms, scrolling vines, and graceful botanical arrangements, framed by bold yet harmonious borders. Their craftsmanship reflects a blend of Persian structure and Indian artistic flourish, resulting in rugs renowned for their rich detail, cultural depth, and timeless elegance that continues to appeal to collectors and designers worldwide.
