Mid-Century Indian Dhurrie Abstract Light Gray Flatweave Cotton Rug BB8674 11'0" × 14'2" $17,000

This vintage Indian dhurrie is a handwoven cotton flatweave from India, made in the country’s enduring dhurrie tradition. Its appeal lies in the restraint of the composition, which lets texture and proportion do the work.

The field is a soft light gray with an ivory cast, almost entirely open, and the design is interrupted only by a narrow terminal band of blue striping near one edge. Those fine indigo and sky-blue lines create a quiet sense of rhythm without disturbing the calm, minimal surface. The effect is architectural and measured, more about negative space than ornament.

That simplicity makes the rug especially versatile in contemporary interiors, where it can soften polished wood, stone, or concrete while preserving visual clarity. The cotton flatweave keeps the profile low and practical, while the subtle blue accent adds enough definition to anchor a room without competing with furniture or art.

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.
