Vintage Indian Dhurrie Light Blue Flatweave Cotton Rug BB9138 12'1" × 16'1" $20,000

This vintage Indian dhurrie, handwoven in the mid-20th century, is a flatweave cotton rug that distills traditional craft into a calm, pared-back form.

Its light blue field is essentially uninterrupted, with only subtle abrash and weave striation animating the surface. Rather than a border or central medallion, the composition relies on nuanced shifts in tone—bright cerulean, sky blue, and cooler denim notes—to create depth. That restrained, almost monochrome look gives the rug a versatile, contemporary character while preserving the tactile honesty of a handwoven textile.

As a vintage flatweave dhurrie, it offers the durability and easygoing presence collectors value in Indian rugs, yet it reads with enough refinement for layered living rooms, dining spaces, or relaxed bedroom schemes. The open field lets furniture, art, and architecture take precedence, making it an elegant grounding piece in transitional, modern, or coastal interiors.

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.
