This exceptional textile, woven entirely of cotton, presents a light, neutral field that defines its character. Its practical dimensions classify it perfectly among our collection of small scatter size rugs, ideal for transitional spaces or defined entryways where a subtle statement is desired.

The palette is grounded by a subtle, warm tan that reads as a sophisticated brown earth tone color rugs, providing a perfect backdrop for the bolder secondary colors. The repeating geometric border, featuring a classic Greek key motif rendered in muted mauve and beige, frames the central field with architectural precision, providing a structured counterpoint to the inner pattern.

The field is populated by highly stylized, repeating star-like blossoms rendered in deep indigo and rich maroon. This structured repetition of motifs creates a pleasing visual rhythm across the surface, characteristic of an allover design that fills the space without demanding a central medallion or focal point.

Woven almost a century ago, circa 1925, this Dhurrie piece exhibits the enduring quality and understated charm typical of early 20th-century antique rugs. Its sturdy cotton construction and flatweave technique ensure durability while offering a light, versatile foundation that integrates seamlessly into both modern and traditional environments.
