The city of Agra in India, home of the Taj Mahal, is the birthplace of the Agra rug. The city was settled by Mogul ruler Akbar The Great (1556-1606 AD), who was responsible for bringing art, including rug weaving, to the subcontinent. The Agra rugs below ? with the extensive, curvilinear patterns found only in the subcontinent ? belong to a collection of antique designs brought back to satisfy an increasing interest in natural dyes and hand-spun wool rugs. Equally suited to classical and contemporary decorating with their simple designs, muted colours and subtle variations, Agra rugs get their antique abrash from an heirloom washing process.
