Indian Dhurrie Off-White and Indigo Flat-Woven Cotton Rug N11018 13'2" × 15'3" $9,500

Dhurrie rugs are flat-woven textiles from India that have been transcending social divisions by serving in households of poor and wealthy alike for centuries. Although their range of application is quite wide, modern rugs of the dhurrie type are mostly used as floor coverings. The Indian Dhurrie before your eyes is made in complete accordance with the far-reaching tradition in order to comprise all the unique qualities of antique dhurrie rugs.

Design-wise, the carpet counts among the Indian classics. The combination of blue and off-white is probably the most widespread as indigo – the famous natural blue pigment – is a hallmark of Indian industry. The gentle sapphire shade is completely in line with modern decorating trends and will be a precious accent in all kinds of interior arrangements. Both the fret pattern running on the border and the oriental lattice occupying the main field imbue the rug with recherché charm. Everything is finished with a lovely fringe.

Next to attractive appearance, this Indian dhurrie distinguishes itself with equally impeccable execution. Thoroughly hand-woven of the finest Indian cotton in a distinct weave, the rug is thick yet light, easily portable and low-maintenance. Moreover, its structure is practically impenetrable to silverfish and other insects responsible for destroying textiles. If properly cared for, this contemporary carpet will be of flawless service for many years, being the apple of the eye of its happy owners.
