Mid-Century Indian Dhurrie Striped Light Blue Flatweave Cotton Runner BB7984 5'3" × 13'8" $10,000

This vintage mid-century Indian dhurrie is a handwoven cotton flatweave that brings the pared-back tradition of Indian textile design into a crisp, contemporary register. Its light blue field is animated by horizontal stripes in soft teal, powder blue, and ivory, creating an easy rhythm that feels airy rather than decorative.

The composition is entirely stripe-driven, with alternating broad and narrow bands that keep the eye moving across the surface. In the center, several paler horizontal bars break the cadence just enough to add visual interest, while the slight irregularity of the weave preserves the handmade character of the piece. There is no medallion or border, only the honest structure of the dhurrie itself.

Understated yet expressive, this vintage Indian rug works naturally in contemporary, coastal, and Scandinavian interiors, where its cool palette can soften wood, stone, or minimalist furnishings. As a cotton flatweave, it offers a lighter, more flexible alternative to pile rugs, making it especially appealing for designers seeking pattern, texture, and clarity in equal measure.

Part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug reflects the gallery's dedication to preserving exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive design traditions. Its character, patina, and artistry make it a sophisticated addition to thoughtfully curated interiors.
