An exceptionally fine Indian cotton Dhurrie rug in blue and coral, with a highly unusual Lotto design* more commonly associated with early Turkish carpets. India, circa 1940. 275cm x 189cm (108 x 74 inches).
A beautifully drawn rug, with a superb spectrum of softly abrashed colours. The blue ground ranges through almost purple to turquoise and the incredible borders alternate between salmon and coral pinks. (”Abrash” describes the subtle horizontal colour differences that arise from the use of different batches of dye degrading at different rates over time. It is highly prized, and this is a wonderful example of why).
Superb condition without damages or wear. Selvages original with touches of loss to the cotton. Ends with very short fringes. A couple of small marks along one edge (the top as hung in our images) and a very small loss to the top right corner. Overall clean, bright and presents beautifully. Please see all images for full condition.
*The name Lotto Carpet refers to a type of 16th/17th century Turkish carpet appearing several times in the works of Venetian painter Lorenzo Lotto. For an excellent reference, see this wonderful example at Christies, which aside from the colour palette has a strikingly similar design.
