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 woven 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 very rare, massive example is decorated by a tile pattern of diamonds in red, blue and white, characteristic of the palace dhurries woven in Udaipur. Oversized pieces such as this one were commissioned by the Maharajas for important occasions, offering an architectural backdrop with which to decorate significant portions of their palace.
For a similar example please see D. Black, The Unappreciated Dhurrie, London 1982, plate 7, p. 33.
