Story Behind The Art: India boasts a rich and ancient textile tradition, but it was during the Mughal era that rug weaving truly flourished as an art form. In the late 16th century, Emperor Akbar established weaving centers in Agra, Delhi, and Lahore, where artisans initially adhered to Persian rug-making techniques. However, by the 17th century, Indian rugs had developed their own distinct artistic language, setting them apart from their Persian counterparts. These rugs became known for their dense weaving, silk-like wool, vivid color schemes, and intricate, lifelike motifs. The fusion of meticulous craftsmanship and innovative design has given Indian rugs an enduring charm, making them highly sought-after across cultures and time periods.
