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 is characterised by a central section, with the blue stripes which alternate to the white ones are in a darker shade of blue, having a different rhythm with respect to the end panels, where there is a higher proportion of white stripes and where one end shows stripes in a lighter shade of blue. It's exactly these small variations which contribute in the huge appeal of these refined cotton flat-weaves.
