On the Design:

Admirers of the craft will note this piece as a collectible—among few versatile-sized Indian Dhurries from this period. This 1950s kilim relishes a delicious chartreuse and navy blue colorway and geometric patterns in beige-brown diamond across the field and border alike. One of the many beauties that distinguishes this Dhurrie from other Indian rugs and flatweaves of the period is its particular minimalist style—an exemplary use of few colors and small-scale patterns in an outstanding large size that achieves the quintessential look so sought after in this provenance. It’s a simple, yet sophisticated work of its kind that speaks to both traditional Indian textile arts and modernist design principles.
