Indian Dhurrie Mid-Century Abstract Oversized Light Blue Flatweave Cotton Rug BB7917 17'9" × 22'4" $45,000

This vintage Indian dhurrie, woven in the mid-20th century, distills the region’s flatweave tradition into a composition of quiet precision. Handwoven in cotton, it presents a pale light-blue field enclosed by a deeper blue border, giving the piece the clarity of a framed textile rather than a heavily ornamented carpet.

Its appeal lies in restraint. The surface carries fine horizontal striations and gentle tonal shifts that keep the open field from feeling static, while the surrounding border sharpens the geometry and adds just enough contrast. The result is a rug that feels calm, tailored, and distinctly modern in spirit, even as it reflects an enduring Indian weaving vocabulary.

Because of that balance, the dhurrie works beautifully in interiors that call for color without clutter. It can soften architecture, anchor contemporary furnishings, and lend a clean, collected finish to living rooms, studies, or bedrooms. The cool palette and flatwoven texture make it especially versatile for designers seeking an understated vintage rug with character.
