Oversized Indian Dhurrie Vintage Geometric Cream Beige Flatweave Cotton Rug BB6194 18'7" Ã— 31'5" $60,000

This oversized vintage Indian dhurrie, circa 1940, is a handwoven cotton flatweave rooted in India’s enduring dhurrie tradition. Rather than relying on ornament, it uses disciplined horizontal striping and a framed composition to create a calm, tailored presence, giving the rug the clarity of a woven textile panel.

A deep navy border encloses a peach beige field, where alternating bands of navy blue, slate gray, and restrained red run in a measured repeat. The broad spacing between the stripes keeps the surface open and breathable, while the darker perimeter sharpens the composition and lends the rug an architectural, almost modernist edge. Its graphic simplicity feels deliberate, not severe.

For designers seeking a vintage Indian rug with geometric structure and the easy utility of a flatweave, this dhurrie is especially versatile. It brings texture without visual clutter and works naturally with pale wood, linen upholstery, leather accents, and clean-lined furnishings in contemporary, transitional, or collected interiors. The cotton construction also keeps the look light, so the rhythm reads quietly from afar and more closely at hand.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty. DLB offers a diverse selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, accommodating collectors and designers across every style and budget.
