Early 20th Century Indian Cotton Dhurrie Carpet
Not blue and white, but purple and light blue with an eggshell strip finishing the side-to-side banded pattern at each end. Any shade of purple is unusual for a Dhurrie and we are lucky to have this room sized example. This is a good condition antique piece ready for immediate use of careful modification.
