A botanical filigree of surpassing delicacy fills the cool ivory field of this highly decorative Indian Agra antique carpet. It seamlessly extends these precious, intimate floral forms to an expansive oversize scale. Further surprises abound—scattered throughout the composition delightful tiny elephants, each with a diminutive rider, await discovery along with touching gazelle, dog and human figures. Even with its oversize dimensions, this circa 1900 antique Oriental carpet is extremely inviting because of its rare cream field and welcoming array of naturally dyed colors.
