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 refined example is distinguished by an overall soft palette, and consists of a series of stripes of differing widths in two light shades of indigo blue, each being flanked by a pair of very thin stripes in golden yellow. The stripes are arranged in a specific order, where in the central section the stripes are all wide, while the end panels show a sequence consisting mainly of thinner stripes. A very charming example with a celestial palette which will certainly grace any kind of interior.
