Finding the Right indian-rugs for You

Today, there are few elements of decor as consistently beautiful as vibrantly colored, intricately patterned antique rugs. The legacy of fine Indian rugs and carpets dates back to the Mughal Empire, with Jalal-ud-Din Akbar in the 16th century establishing workshops for carpet weaving based on Persian practices. Combined with the aesthetics of Indian art, a new rug tradition was born.

In India, these Persian-inspired rugs and carpets were often made with lush materials, including silk, velvet and pashmina, a type of cashmere. It could take laborers as long as 15 years to weave a single carpet. Many of these rugs and carpets were created for royalty and frequently used inside palaces and mosques, particularly on special occasions.

Though the carpet weaving stemmed from a Persian tradition, Indian rugs and carpets featured designs that predated Persian influences. These complex patterns included floral, geometric, and animal motifs.

Indian rugs remain among the most coveted decorative items today. Browse 1stDibs for a wide variety of vintage, new and antique Indian rugs and carpets to establish a lavish focal point in any room in your home. See our guide to caring for your antique and vintage rugs, and read about how to choose the right area rug for your space.

Questions About Dhurrie Pictorial Rugs
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    A dhurrie is an Indian word for a handwoven rug or very thin floor covering. They usually have intricate woven designs in bright colors.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not dhurrie rugs are durable is largely a matter of personal opinion. Like all rugs, the floor coverings show signs of wear and tear eventually due to the effects of foot traffic. However, the flat pile and tightly woven construction makes them stronger options than some other types of rugs. You'll find a collection of dhurrie rugs on 1stDibs.

    Generally speaking, Dhurrie rugs are cotton flat weaves from India while Kilims are flat woven wool rugs from different location around the world.
