Vintage Indian Dhurrie Rug BB7765 17'7" × 20'4" $55,000

A striking example of mid-20th-century Indian Dhurrie craftsmanship, this vintage flat-weave rug captivates with its bold abstract geometry and warm earthen tones. Rendered in shades of terracotta and deep maroon, the design features a large central square medallion radiating outward in a series of concentric motifs—zigzags, diamonds, squares, and linear elements—balanced by directional corner patterns that suggest movement and rhythm.

The composition is highly stylized and evocative of tribal symbolism, yet remains distinctly modern in its minimalist palette and graphic clarity. The rug’s flat-woven cotton structure emphasizes durability and lightness, ideal for layering in a variety of interiors—from eclectic bohemian spaces to more contemporary or rustic environments.

Woven by hand in India circa 1950, this Dhurrie is a compelling testament to the artistic range of traditional Indian weaving, merging decorative utility with avant-garde expression.

Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
