Mid-Century Indian Dhurrie Rug In Light Blue Flatweave Cotton – Pale BB9166 5'1" × 8'5" $9,000

This vintage Indian dhurrie rug, woven in the mid-20th century, carries the understated character of a traditional flatweave from India. Handwoven in a cotton construction, it offers the crisp, lightweight handling and durability that have long made dhurries a practical choice for interiors.

The design is almost entirely open and quiet, with a pale light blue field softened by gentle tonal striations from the weave itself. Instead of a busy repeat, the surface relies on texture and subtle abrash for movement, while small ivory accents along the edges introduce a measured, horizontal rhythm. The result is restrained, graphic, and highly livable.

Its calm palette and minimal pattern make it especially effective as a grounding layer beneath contemporary seating, clean-lined wood furnishings, or airy textile schemes. More serene than decorative, this blue and ivory dhurrie brings a composed, architectural quality to the room while preserving the warmth of handwoven Indian craftsmanship.

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.
