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 elegant example shows a very unusual field pattern, characterised by a light celadon green background framed by a thin light blue border, enclosing an hexagonal oblong cartouche with a partially stepped contour which contains a central star octagon with pendants. The very subtle chromatic juxtaposition coupled with the spare, architectural character of the composition, results in a weaving of great refinement.
