Antique Oversized Dhurrie Indian Rug, Country of Origin: India, Circa Date: 1935. This exceptional example of early 20th-century weaving from Indian rugs showcases the powerful aesthetic shift toward abstract design. The Dhurrie style, often characterized by its striking horizontal bands, offers a modern sensibility despite its age and traditional origins.

The palette is dominated by a sophisticated range of indigo and cerulean tones, creating a mesmerizing ombré effect across the field. This deep saturation, achieved through natural dyes, makes it a compelling choice among blue color rugs, providing both depth and tranquility to any interior space seeking a restrained yet impactful foundation.

Unlike traditional ornate Persian designs, this piece employs a powerful, graphic simplicity. The horizontal stripes are executed with an intentional, slightly blurred edge, lending a textural softness to the otherwise geometric allover rugs pattern. This intentional abstraction elevates the piece beyond mere utility, positioning it as a work of textile art.

Given its substantial dimensions, this piece is classified among true room size rugs, making it an ideal anchor for large, contemporary settings where scale is paramount. It represents a rare intersection of traditional weaving skill and avant-garde design, cementing its status as a highly collectible item among discerning antique rugs. See less
