Vintage Indian Dhurrie – Striped Light Blue Flatweave Cotton Carpet BB7980 6'5" × 7'2" $8,000

This vintage Indian dhurrie is a handwoven cotton flatweave from India, prized for its ease, durability, and clean-lined character. The square format and restrained composition make it especially useful for designers seeking a vintage rug with a quiet, modern presence and a clear connection to traditional Indian weaving. It belongs comfortably in the broader tradition of vintage Indian rugs, where utility and texture are valued as highly as ornament.

The design is organized as soft horizontal stripes in pale light blue and muted cream, spread across an ivory ground. Band widths shift slightly from line to line, and the handwoven surface introduces gentle irregularities that soften the geometry. The effect is calm and airy, with a faintly washed, almost watercolor-like quality that gives the flatweave subtle movement.

With no border, medallion, or enclosed field, the dhurrie reads with architectural simplicity and layers easily beneath furniture. Its cotton construction reinforces the relaxed feel, while the subtle banding adds just enough pattern to animate a room. It is a refined choice for coastal, contemporary, or pared-back interiors.

Part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug reflects the gallery's dedication to preserving exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive design traditions. Its character, patina, and artistry make it a sophisticated addition to thoughtfully curated interiors.
