Product Details

During the reign of the British empire over India, weaving centres were established in the Indian Jails where looms were setup and prisoners were trained by weavers from Persia. The resulting carpets were of exceptional quality and were made using the finest pure wool. Their designs were inspired by the classical Persian and Mughal carpets of the 16th and 17th centuries.The most famous of these weaving centres was the Agra Jail.
