Handwoven in a wool flatweave, it originates from India circa 1950-1960, and enjoys blue and gold geometric patterns.

On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will note this piece as a collectible—among few large-size Indian Dhurries from this period. Its field hosts white underscores, blue and gold geometric patterns, with a particular ochre tone in its accents, which uses the limited, smart palette beautifully in its sense of movement. Keen eyes and admirers of the craft alike may appreciate the resemblance to diamonds in the smaller repeat of the all over patterns.

The diamond pattern resembles a motif like that on a ring—where the lighter hue depicts a center stone and the ochre tones depict the claws that hold it on the ring. It’s an interesting perspective on a beautiful piece, particularly desirable in its bright color and how beautifully the white has aged which is rare for works of this palette. It’s a work of warm, welcoming playful presence and smart balance alike, with vast design applications today.

Condition:

This vintage Dhurrie Kilim further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. less
