Vintage Indian Dhurrie Runner in Brick, Charcoal, and Cream, circa Mid-20th Century BB6285 4'3" × 31'9" $16,000

This vintage Indian Dhurrie runner from the mid-20th century is a captivating example of flat-weave craftsmanship, blending traditional weaving techniques with an eye-catching geometric rhythm. Its long, narrow format is ideally suited for hallways or elongated spaces, offering both visual impact and cultural resonance.

The runner features a boldly graphic composition of alternating horizontal bands in earthy terracotta, muted charcoal, and creamy white. The most arresting design elements are the repeated ikat-inspired motifs—elongated arrow-like shapes with serrated edges and small diamond forms—that evoke a sense of motion and symmetry. These motifs are woven in complementary hues that shift between the dominant tones, lending the piece both cohesion and complexity.

Woven entirely in cotton, the rug’s flat-weave structure ensures durability and easy maintenance, while the warm, dusty palette reflects the organic dyes and sun-faded patina typical of traditional Indian Dhurries. Subtle color variations and abrash across the surface add a layer of depth and texture, enhancing its artisanal character.

This runner is a statement piece that carries a sense of understated elegance and timeless design. It works beautifully in both modern and traditional interiors, offering heritage charm with a minimalist edge.

A prime example of the exclusive and varied Doris Leslie Blau designs, this rug brings luxury and character to any space. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
