Antique Dhurrie Small Scatter Size Cotton Ivory Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This extraordinary example of folk textile art presents a highly stylized, primitive narrative, distinguishing it sharply from typical classical Persian or Turkish weavings. Its age and unique provenance place it firmly within our curated collection of antique rugs. Woven entirely in cotton, the texture is soft and pliable, allowing the muted palette to shine through the decades of gentle use. The primary ground is a gentle, faded ivory tone, providing a neutral canvas for the highly saturated, yet soft, accents of ochre, lavender, and dusty rose used in the figural elements. The design structure utilizes a repeating vertical arrangement of anthropomorphic figures and stylized animals, creating a dense, compelling visual rhythm.
