About the Item

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 and are often of massive dimensions. This charming example is distinguished by a chromatic juxtaposition of two stripes with different shades of indigo blue, each flanked by pairs of narrow stripes in a cream colour. This results in a truly relaxing composition, having a magical combination of shades of blue which transport us somewhere far and exotic.
