DescriptionAgra - CottonA subtype of Agra production in which the pile is all cotton instead of wool. The color palette is lighter and narrower: often only 3 or 4 tones are used. This tonal minimalism works well with modern décor. The rugs are cool to the touch and are particularly delightful in the summer. Cotton does not have the weaving quality of wool, but many examples are found in excellent condition. Sizes range up to 25 and a limited production continues to the present day. | |
