Traditional Indian
Dhurrie rugs had been overshadowed by luxuriant Mughal pile carpets for too
long. In the twentieth century these antique flat-woven Indian rugs began to be
recognized and lauded as a significant art form of the Indian subcontinent. Transcending
social boundaries, the Dhurrie rugs were used by both commoner and royalty. As
versatile and welcome in a dirt-floor hut as it is in the most palatial
home. At its simplest, it was a multi-purpose textile used as a floor
covering, or for bedding or packaging, while the most elaborate were woven with
the finest fibers and enhanced by gold-wrapped thread and graced the palaces of
royalty.
Dhurrie rugs have been
made by the people of India for thousands of years. By definition, a dhurrie
(the word is sometimes spelled "dari" or "durrie") is a
flat-woven rug indigenous to India and the surrounding regions -- Pakistan,
Afghanistan, and Burma. Dhurries are always weft-faced, which means that the
warp, or lengthwise threads of the rug, are never visible except at the
fringes. Indian Dhurrie rugs can be coarsely or finely woven and, best of all,
they are reversible and easy to clean. Cotton, flat-woven dhurries are light so
they can be folded and moved without a slightest effort.
Moreover, their
practicality manifests itself in the resistance to silverfish and other insects
responsible for destroying regular carpets. Due to the fact that Indian
dhurries are impenetrable to those parasites, they are distinguished by a
particularly low-maintenance cost and upmost durability. Finally, a genuine
cotton Indian Dhurrie rug is always warm in winters and cool in summers thanks
to which one may use them all year round with the benefit to the home ambience
