Serene Mid-Century Indian Dhurrie Light Blue With Navy Blue Flatweave Cotton Rug BB9136 11'10" × 16'0" $22,000

Woven in India circa 1955, this vintage dhurrie is a handwoven flat-weave rug with no pile, defined by a luminous light-blue field and a deep navy border. Its spare composition reflects the practical elegance of traditional Indian dhurries, where structure, color, and texture carry the design rather than heavy ornament.

The open center reads almost like a canvas, while the frame adds crisp definition and a sense of proportion. Subtle tonal shifts across the blue ground reveal the hand of the weaver, giving the surface a softly weathered character that feels calm rather than uniform. The contrast is clean, architectural, and quietly modern.

Because of its low profile and disciplined palette, the rug works beautifully beneath contemporary seating, in coastal rooms, or as a serene counterpoint to warmer woods and tailored upholstery. As a vintage Indian flatweave, it brings the authenticity of mid-century craft in a form that remains highly adaptable today. The result is poised, serene, and easy to layer into both edited and more collected interiors.

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.
