Vintage Indian Dhurrie Geometric Warm Tan With Brown Flatweave Cotton Rug BB7765 17'7" × 20'4" $60,000

This vintage Indian dhurrie, woven circa 1950, comes from India’s flat-weave tradition and pairs a warm tan ground with dark brown and brick-red linework. Handwoven in cotton, it has the crisp, lightweight character that has long made dhurries favored for interiors needing both practicality and graphic clarity.

The design is decidedly modernist. Rather than a conventional medallion, the field is organized by offset rectangular frames, stepped corners, zigzag borders, and small linear devices that appear almost architectural. Large areas of negative space keep the composition open, while the concentrated motifs at the corners and center create a measured sense of movement. The result is an abstract geometric rug with a disciplined rhythm and a quietly tribal inflection.

Its restrained palette and flatwoven surface make it especially useful in contemporary rooms, where it can ground clean-lined furniture, soften strong architecture, and add warmth without visual weight. As a vintage Indian geometric rug, it offers an elegant balance of utility, pattern, and mid-century character.

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