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.
This unique example was most probably commissioned at the height of the fashion for European Modernism. It's distinguished by an open field composed of an apparently random mixture of light red and medium blue strands of finely hand-spun cotton, resulting in a truly spectacular shade of soft red with fuchsia pink overtones. The marvellous texture of antique cotton is truly remarkable in this example.
