Vintage Indian Dhurrie Geometric White Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Double-Sided BB8200 3'5" × 19'6" $14,000

This vintage Indian dhurrie runner was woven in India in the mid-20th century as a reversible flatweave, combining practical durability with a crisp, graphic presence. Its long, narrow format and double-sided construction make it especially suited to hallways, stair landings, and architectural interiors.

Rather than a central medallion, the composition is organized into a sequence of framed compartments, each filled with a tight blue-and-white diamond lattice that reads like a finely calibrated mosaic. A saturated blue ground runs along the left edge, forming a strong vertical band with stepped white outlines and small square accents that give the runner its distinctive rhythm. The spare palette of indigo blue and ivory keeps the geometry sharp and airy at once, letting the repeated panels feel both disciplined and animated.

One panel includes a vertical strip of calligraphic detail, a subtle reminder of the textile’s regional character and the importance of pattern as both decoration and visual language. Fresh, ordered, and quietly expressive, this vintage dhurrie brings structure and movement to contemporary spaces without overwhelming them, while its reversible face adds an extra layer of versatility.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty. DLB offers a diverse selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, accommodating collectors and designers across every style and budget.
