AN AGRA CARPET, NORTH INDIA, SECOND HALF 19TH CENTURY


approximately 501 by 454cm.

Labelled 'Retailed by F J HAKIMIAN INC New York'.

A beautiful example of an Agra carpet, with an unusual light teal ground colour, in outstanding condition. The design is derived from the overall arabesque trellis and shrub carpets, exemplified by the Lady Dudley Shrub Carpet, produced in the 'Vase technique' in 17th century Iran. The border similarly takes its inspiration from classical Persian carpets.
