Vintage Indian Dhurrie Geometric Pale Sand With Lavender Flatweave Cotton Rug BB9140 11'9" × 12'7" $25,000

This vintage Indian dhurrie rug, woven circa 1945, reflects the crisp graphic language of India’s flatweave tradition. Its low-pile construction gives the piece a tailored, lightweight presence, making it especially well suited to interiors that call for pattern with clarity rather than heaviness.

A light beige field is organized around a vertical chain of lavender diamond medallions, each framed by leaf-like ornament and small hooked terminals. Fine linear motifs, checkerboard accents, and spare geometric marks drift across the ground, creating a measured rhythm while preserving generous negative space. The composition feels architectural, tribal, and deliberately restrained.

Multiple borders reinforce that structure with repeating geometric bands and small rosette-like forms, while the soft lavender palette tempers the stronger lines of the design. The result is a versatile vintage flatweave with a casual, collected character—an easy fit for contemporary, eclectic, or layered rooms seeking an Indian dhurrie with strong visual order.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965.
