Antique Indian Agra Carpet

No. 17781
India, Circa 1920
6 ft. 2 in. x 8 ft. 6 in.

An antique Indian Agra carpet. This splendidly detailed, finely woven north Indian carpet is directly adapted from 16th century Persian prototypes. The wine-red field displays chi’lins (a mythical Chinese animal), animal combats, deer, tigers, dragon heads and other animals ensconced within palmettes. Cloud bands add to the historicizing effect. The ivory border is equally classical and it connects rounded complex palmettes with broad strapwork arabesques.
