Rug & Kilim’s Agra Red And Beige Wool Rug 18466

Made With Hand-Knotted Wool Originating From One Of The Most Reputed Looms In India, Rug & Kilim’s Agra-Inspired Wool Rug Employs A Unique Interpretation Of The Islimi Vine Scroll Pattern Throughout A Very Luxurious All Over Field Design With Medallion-Style Characteristics. The Islimi Is A Curvilinear Vine Seen In Select Agra, Persian, And Oriental Rugs Defined By Almost Completely Circular Swooping Vines With Highly Stylized Leaves; Often Dancing Down In Rows Throughout Borders. The Most Thorough Concentration Of These Symbols In This Piece, However, Is Wrapping The Distinctly Ornate Medallion In The Beige Field With Rich, Crimson Red Accents And Notes Of Cerulean Blue. It Is Especially Notable That, Between The Palmette Symbols Of Rejuvenation And Eternity, The Islimi In The Border Are Emphasized If Not Altogether Reserved To The Complementary Red Medallions With A Shift To A Deeper Hue Of Blue, Likely Signifying This Piece As A Spiritual Portrait By An Islamic Weaver. Wrapped With A Floral Scroll Border And Dressed With Mirrored Vertical Fringes To Complement The Monochromatic Red Guard Border, The Universal Vertical And Horizontal Symmetry In The Field And Border Designs Gives A Natural, Kaleidoscopic Intrigue To This Piece Underfoot.
