Indian Dhurrie – Mid-Century Lavender Flatweave Cotton Rug BB9147 9'0" × 14'0" $20,000

This vintage Indian dhurrie, woven in the mid-century era, belongs to the long flatweave tradition for which Indian cotton rugs are prized. Handwoven in a pileless construction, it offers a crisp, lightweight surface with the practical versatility and understated refinement that have made dhurries enduring favorites.

The composition is deliberately restrained: a washed lavender field creates a soft, luminous ground for small diamond motifs scattered with measured regularity. Rendered in ivory and faint sage, the devices read almost like quiet points of rhythm across the open surface, giving the rug an airy, architectural presence rather than a heavy ornamental one.

A muted sage border frames the center with a clean ivory outline, sharpening the silhouette without interrupting the calm palette. The result is a vintage cotton dhurrie with subtle geometric character, well suited to interiors that value texture, clarity, and a relaxed but disciplined sense of style.

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.
