Doris Leslie Blau Collection Blue, White Striped Hand Tufted Rug N11561 10'0" × 11'3" $11,000

This contemporary area rug has a truly joyful and energetic appeal which it owes to the proper application of colors and simple yet intense design. The entire field of this modern creation is covered in relatively thin stripes in two alternating hues – light pastel blue, bordering on white, and much more pronounced cerulean.

It is precisely the size of the stripes and the employment of two widely different shades of one color that contribute to the impression of constant movement and dynamism exuded by this wondrous piece. Its minimalism is offset not only by the color palette but also by size and masterful execution. This exquisite rug was gently made by hand of the finest wool in accordance with traditional weaving techniques.

Only such a weaving process ensures the quality and longevity of a rug which may later serve its owners for many generations. Its pile is soft and dense being a balm to hearts, hands, and eyes. Moreover, blue which reigns on the field has always been the most desired among colors and it guarantees this modern rug will never go out of fashion.

Doris Leslie Blau carries an exceptional collection of original modern rugs in many styles and materials. Contemporary hand-made rugs are a bridge throughout history, they are the fruit of the constant evolution of the weaving craft that has accompanied men since the dawn of civilization.
