Indian Dhurrie Mid-Century Light Blue Flatweave Cotton Rug BB9143 10'10" × 17'0" $30,000

This vintage Indian dhurrie was handwoven in the mid-20th century, continuing the country’s enduring flatweave tradition in a calm, modern register. Its cotton foundation gives the rug a supple, lightweight character that suits everyday use while preserving the crisp clarity dhurries are known for.

The composition is notably restrained: a broad light blue field spans the surface, washed with gentle tonal variation that creates depth without overt pattern. Along the perimeter, a slightly deeper navy blue border frames the field, while the inner edge carries a subtle serrated outline that adds just enough rhythm to keep the design visually alive.

With no medallion or dense ornament to interrupt it, the rug reads as an airy architectural ground plane. The cool blue palette pairs easily with contemporary furnishings, bleached woods, linen upholstery, and coastal or Scandinavian interiors, bringing softness, structure, and a measured sense of serenity where scale and calm are equally important.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
