Agra-Amritsar Rugs
The pattern is endless in this decorative antique Agra carpet. Appearing to pass beneath the border the array of angular vine segments sectional palmettes stylized cypress trees and various natural elements closely covers the old ivory ground. The broad border covers the field pattern as a frame with its split arabesques and rosettes all on a wine brown ground. All over patterns are popular today and furnishings may be arranged without reference to a central medallion or directional elements.
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
