Rabbits Running Rug

John discovered these vintage dhurries in Jaipur and was beguiled by their folksy imagery and eccentric designs. Traditionally woven by women across northern India as part of a bride’s trousseau, these flat tapestry rugs were used on floors and charpoys, the woven beds common in village homes. Practical yet deeply expressive, dhurries carry generations of weaving tradition and remain a living craft in the farming communities of Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. Rows of plump rabbits hop across this wonderfully whimsical dhurrie, their cream and apricot forms popping against an inky ground bordered with delicate floral garlands.
