Mid-Century Dhurrie Light Blue With Blue Hand-Knotted Rug BB6534 12'7" × 19'10" $35,000

Vintage Indian dhurrie rug, handwoven circa mid-20th century, this flat-weave reflects the restrained elegance of India’s longstanding dhurrie tradition. Its appeal lies in proportion, color, and texture rather than ornament, giving the piece a calm, architectural presence that feels distinctly modern.

A luminous light blue field forms the center, framed by a slightly deeper blue border that lends definition without interrupting the serenity of the design. Subtle tonal strié and gentle variations across the surface create visual movement, so the rug never appears static; instead, it reads as softly weathered and breathable. The pared-back palette makes it especially adaptable in contemporary, coastal, or minimalist interiors.

Woven in cotton, this dhurrie offers the practical qualities collectors and designers value: a low-profile handwoven surface, durable construction, and reversible use. Its generous scale makes it well suited to expansive living rooms, dining areas, or open-plan spaces, where it can serve as a quiet foundation and allow furnishings to take the lead.

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.
