Oversized Mid-Century Indian Dhurrie Geometric Warm Tan Flatweave Cotton Runner BB6285 4'3" × 31'9" $18,000

This circa 1940 Indian dhurrie runner translates the country’s flatweave tradition into a long, disciplined composition. Handwoven in cotton, it combines the relaxed utility of a vintage runner with a crisp graphic presence that feels both collected and architecturally clear.

Broad horizontal bands in warm tan and deep brown establish the rhythm, while repeated elongated panels in soft apricot-tan bring a pointed, arrow-like silhouette to the center of each register. Small ivory dots and narrow stripe work keep the surface lively, but the overall effect remains restrained, relying on repetition rather than ornament for its character.

With no medallion or enclosing border, the design reads as pure movement, making it especially effective in hallways, entries, and other narrow spaces. Its low-profile cotton weave and earthy palette suit contemporary, bohemian, or minimalist interiors that call for warmth, rhythm, and a subtle mid-century sensibility.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965.
