Vintage Indian Dhurrie Striped Cream And Light Blue Flatweave Cotton Rug BB7963 10'8" × 12'3" $20,000

This vintage Indian dhurrie is a flatweave cotton rug woven in India, reflecting the long tradition of practical, finely made floor coverings from the region. Its restrained format gives the piece a quiet presence, while the square room-size proportion makes it especially useful in grounded, design-forward interiors.

The composition is built from horizontal bands of cream and light blue, alternating between broader stripes and thinner accent lines. Rather than reading as rigidly graphic, the surface carries subtle weave variation and gentle shifts in tone that soften the rhythm and keep the field visually alive. With no medallion or border, the design feels open, clean, and architectural.

That simplicity is what gives this dhurrie its versatility. The cool blue against the warm cream creates an easy, airy palette that can temper richer furnishings or reinforce a more pared-back scheme. Its low-profile cotton construction makes it well suited to contemporary living spaces, layered rooms, and interiors that value texture as much as pattern.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
