Mughal Carpet, Agra

This shop was fantastic and I loved seeing how the carpets were made in the traditional way. I bought a beautiful Kashmir carpet in my one day travelling to Agea and i hope I can go back again one day and buy a bigger one.

As part of our Golden Triangle tour with private driver and tour guides, we were brought to a couple of shops and while we know the routine in these commission, government supported, shops, we were truly blown away by the quality, service, and attention given to us by Imran Khan and his team. They had no problem entertaining our wish to see nearly every pattern and color imaginable after showing us the persian rug making demonstration and letting us tie in a few knots. The look and feel of their rugs are truly incredible and at prices that are fractions of what you would find in the states or even in the middle east where their craft originates from. The Khan family has been doing this a long time, and their attention to detail and desire to make friends more than just another business deal was a very nice touch. After more than an hour or deliberations we decided on a beautiful 6’x9’ with a traditional pattern. Instead of having it shipped home, Imran told us he could package the rug in plastic and tie it up so small that we would have no problem checking it on our flights home, saving us the cost and danger of international shipping and customs. He even hand delivered the rug to the Delhi Airport before our flight so we didn’t have to take the rug with us around India. We couldn’t be happier with our rug and know we have made a friend for life in the rug business with whom we will be placing many more orders with!
