About the Item

Early 20th Century Indian Cotton Dhurrie Carpet. The totally plain salmon-orange field is neatly framed by the middle blue and salmon squared wave border. The blue has a light abrash. Good condition for this antique Indian cotton pileless carpet. Antique Large Indian Geometric Flatwoven Handmade Rug, Country of Origin: India, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional piece from the 1920s represents a sophisticated departure from traditional weaving, showcasing the adaptability of Indian rugs during the early modern era. Its monumental scale and striking simplicity define its aesthetic value. The design is characterized by its bold use of negative space. The vast, plain field is rendered in a deeply saturated, yet softly aged, apricot hue, providing a stunning contrast to the highly stylized border. This focus on form over intricate detail aligns perfectly with the emerging trends favoring geometric rugs in the Art Deco period. The defining feature is the wide, repeating Meander border, executed in a cool, muted slate blue and the primary terracotta tone. This strong graphic element frames the composition, lending it an architectural presence. Given its dimensions, this piece functions as a truly large oversized rug, ideal for anchoring a grand reception room or a minimalist interior seeking historical depth. Hand-knotted with high-quality wool, the pile retains a wonderful softness indicative of expert craftsmanship and careful preservation over the last century. Such pieces are increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate the rarity and distinctive character of early 20th-century antique rugs that bridge traditional techniques with modern design sensibilities.
