Mid-Century Indian Dhurrie Striped Cream And Light Blue Flatweave Cotton Rug BB7982 6'4" × 10'8" $14,000

This vintage Indian Dhurrie rug, measuring 11 feet by 6 feet, is a striking example of mid-20th-century flatweave artistry. Its defining characteristic is a rhythmic vertical stripe pattern rendered in soft sky blue and ivory, accentuated by faint ochre outlines that lend a gentle warmth to the cool color palette. The composition is both structured and fluid, with slight irregularities in the stripes hinting at its handmade provenance.

Crafted using the traditional Dhurrie technique, the rug is flat-woven from cotton or a cotton-linen blend, giving it a lightweight yet durable structure. The texture is tight and smooth, perfect for layering or use in high-traffic areas. Notably, the design includes charming, painterly imperfections—where the blue stripes taper off or blend subtly with the base—which adds a sense of artistic spontaneity and unique character.

Fringed edges and a visibly hand-finished quality highlight its authenticity and artisanal heritage. The understated palette and minimalist patterning make it an ideal piece for modern, coastal, or Scandinavian-inspired interiors seeking a touch of global charm without overwhelming the space.

Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
