Mid-Century Indian Dhurrie Lavender Flatweave Cotton Rug BB9158 9'7" × 9'9" $18,000

This vintage Indian dhurrie is a handwoven cotton flatweave that reflects the practical elegance of mid-century textile design. Made in India, it belongs to the long dhurrie tradition of lightweight, reversible floor coverings, valued for their crisp structure and easy versatility in both formal and relaxed interiors. Its square format makes it especially adaptable beneath seating groups or in a bedroom setting.

Its composition is intentionally restrained: a lavender field is set with evenly spaced ivory diamond-dot motifs, each touched with a whisper of warm gold. The small-scale repeat lends gentle movement across the surface, while the open ground preserves a calm, tailored presence that feels architectural rather than decorative. The effect is subtle, rhythmic, and quietly modern.

A soft beige border frames the center with matching motifs and a sawtooth-like transition that sharpens the geometry without adding visual weight. The result is a quietly layered rug with a fresh, understated palette and a clean flatweave texture, well suited to contemporary, Scandinavian, or transitional rooms, where it can ground a space without competing with patterned upholstery 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.
