The weaving of flat-woven cotton carpets known as dhurries is cited in Mughal chronicles of the 15th century. Probably one of the earliest forms of floor covering, dhurries were woven in various formats according to their function, which range from bed covers to prayer mats.
Most were produced in the northern region of Rajasthan, often in the local jails. Many were commissioned for specific areas of the Maharajah’s palaces. This particular dhurrie bears the weaver’s mark (S.A.G.).
