{"product_id":"rust-handknotted-wool-orh20849","title":"12x18 Hand Knotted Wool Rust, Gold Agra Traditional Plush Pile Floral Gold wash Rug","description":"Crafted knot by knot for exceptional density and feel, this hand-knotted Agra design pairs an intense, earth-toned rust background with a luminous gold-washed border. Drawing inspiration from classic 17th-century Mughal court carpets, this hand-knotted Agra showcases an expansive all-over floral layout set against a rust field with a multi-tiered border. Durable, soft underfoot, and finished with meticulous detail, this statement rug is built to last generations. \n*Note: The color of your rug may appear slightly different in person than it does on screen. This happens because device displays tend to oversaturate color, and because the pile's height causes it to catch and reflect light differently depending on the direction it's brushed, which can shift how a shade looks from one angle to the next. We've done our best to photograph this rug in a way that reflects its true tone, and we'd recommend watching the video below for a more accurate sense of its colors before you order. If you're still unsure, feel free to give us a call and we're happy to walk you through it.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 12x18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Rust, Gold, Sage, Brown, Beige, Multi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.75 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: ORH20849\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eStory Behind the Art: The Indian rug industry reached its artistic peak during the Mughal era, particularly under Emperor Akbar, who established weaving centers in Agra, Delhi, and Lahore in the late 16th century. Initially influenced by Persian styles, these early rugs gradually evolved their own distinct visual language by the 17th century. Indian weavers began incorporating tighter knotting, silk-like wool, rich color palettes, and lifelike motifs—elements that would come to define the Indian rug aesthetic. This fusion of intricate craftsmanship and original design has given Indian rugs a timeless appeal and a global following. Among them, Agra rugs stand out for blending the grandeur of Persian tradition with unique Indian creativity. Known for their floral tendrils, angular vines, scrolling leaves, and large, finely detailed blossoms framed by bold borders, Agra rugs favor all-over patterns that radiate elegance and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52905132523813,"sku":"ORH20849","price":7999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A20849_20ebay.jpg?v=1785325508","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/rust-handknotted-wool-orh20849","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
