Although at some point overshadowed by luxuriant Mughal pile carpets, in the twentieth century these antique flat-woven Indian vintage rugs began to be recognized and lauded as a significant art form from the Indian subcontinent. Transcending social boundaries, the Dhurrie rug was used by both commoner and royalty; at its simplest it was a multi-purpose textile used as a floor covering, bedding or packaging, while at its most elaborate it was woven with the finest fibers and enhanced by gold-wrapped thread when gracing the palaces of royalty.This item is in the category "Antiques\Rugs & Carpets".
