Agra carpets combine the magnificence and refinement of renowned Persian court designs with new motifs of their own creation. Overall designs of spiraling vinery are regularly pooled with small animal forms, including birds, elephants or people. A very famous Agra design, developed for the Mogul emperors, consisted of rows of flowers in vases. This design was adopted by the Persians and can be found in Persian floral carpets. The artistic "cross pollination" between Agra and Persia continued until the end of the nineteenth century.
