The weaving of flat-woven cotton carpets known as dhurries is cited in Mughal chronicles of the 15th century. Probably one of the earliest forms of floor covering, dhurries were woven in various formats according to their function, which range from bed covers to prayer mats. Most were produced in the northern region of Rajasthan, almost always in the local jails. These were often commissioned for specific areas of the Maharaja's palaces. This very unusual example has a perfectly square format, and was probably commissioned for a specific place of a palace. It's signed by the weaver (N.N. Shah) and it's distinguished for its unique cranberry red open field framed by a stunning geometric border with a pattern reminiscent of antique African textiles.
