Vintage Dhurrie Rug With Blue and White Stripes – Rug & Kilim

Description

This 5×8 vintage Dhurrie rug is an exciting new curation from Rug & Kilim’s latest acquisition of rare and exemplary mid-century flatweaves of the same style—handwoven in cotton in India circa 1950-1960.

On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will note this piece as a collectible—among few versatile-sized Indian Dhurries from this period. The composition is built on delicate linearity: parallel bands of creamy white drift across the cool sky blue ground in a balanced cadence. The subtle gradation in the dye gives the surface an ethereal watercolor quality where color fades and intensifies with artisanal nuance. Deceptively simple, this dhurrie embodies centuries of textile tradition, yet speaks fluently to contemporary sensibilities. It’s an exceptional use of few colors that achieves a serene presence and subtle movement for a minimalist rug; an exemplar of both traditional Indian textile arts and modernist design principles.See
