One-of-a-kind Indian Dhurrie Rug in Shades of Beige, Blue, and Brown

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
Dhurrie, a traditional Indian rug, has been characteristic of India for centuries. These relatively light but durable weavings are impenetrable to silverfish and other insects responsible for destroying carpets. Dhurries are an important part of Indian culture – they have always transcended social boundaries by serving in houses of poor and rich alike.

The vintage Indian rug bears a classic design. Its main field is adorned with subtle diamond motifs and embraced by a simple border. The design is rendered in blue, beige and brown.

This vintage Dhurrie, made circa 1948, has survived until this day in excellent condition due to refined workmanship. It was carefully hand-woven out of natural materials by a skilled artisan in accordance with centuries-old techniques. Provided minimum amount of care, the flat-weave will withstand many years with no signs of wear, being the centerpiece of any décor.
