In a city where every corner of a room can be a statement, antique rugs offer something more enduring than trend—they bring narrative. In Beverly Hills, where aesthetics are curated to reflect identity and status, these pieces add a layer of historical depth that feels grounded and rare. Doris Leslie Blau presents a distinguished collection of antique rugs, thoughtfully selected to support designers crafting refined, story-driven interiors.
From a contemporary glass-wrapped villa to a Spanish Revival in the hills, a well-chosen antique textile ties a space together with warmth, subtle contrast, and unmistakable character.
From Past to Present: Rare Textiles That Define a Space
For over half a century, Doris Leslie Blau has served as a trusted source for the design community, offering access to rare antique rugs that double as collectible artworks. Our collection is grounded in connoisseurship—each piece selected not for volume, but for quality, rarity, and ability to stand at the intersection of history and contemporary taste.
Designers will find one-of-a-kind works that span centuries and regions. Finely knotted Persian carpets, expansive Turkish pieces with a weathered patina, Indian garden designs, and bold Moroccan flatweaves—each rug tells a different story, with motifs that speak of their origin, craftsmanship, and the lives they’ve passed through.
The Making of an Antique Carpet
The quality of an antique carpet isn’t simply about age—it’s the integration of material, technique, and artistic intention. Knot density, naturally dyed hand-spun wool, and centuries-old weaving traditions come together to form textiles that have stood the test of time. The result is a surface rich in variation and soul—colors that have mellowed, textures shaped by hand, and compositions impossible to replicate.
Designers sourcing antique carpets and rugs are drawn to this integrity. These are not just decorative additions—they’re investment-grade, statement-making pieces capable of shaping the tone of a room entirely.
Projects with Character, Clients with Vision
Designing in Beverly Hills often means walking a line between prestige and individuality. A refined space still needs texture, balance, and a sense of humanity—qualities antique rugs naturally deliver. They anchor a room without overpowering it. They bring softness without sacrificing structure.
Our inventory includes rugs that complement a range of interiors. A faded Iranian Kirman may soften a modern architectural shell. A Turkish Oushak, with its large-scale floral geometry, might lend quiet drama to an otherwise minimalist space. We also source antique style rugs in subdued palettes to offset bolder, more contemporary furniture plans.
Antique Rugs for Sale: Thoughtfully Sourced, Ready to Place
Through our gallery, designers have access to one of the largest and most rigorously curated inventories of antique rugs for sale in the country. This isn’t mass inventory—it’s a collection shaped by provenance, condition, and the integrity of craft.
Each piece is hand-knotted and one-of-a-kind. Every acquisition is deliberate, reflecting our long-standing relationships with trusted sources and our commitment to maintaining a collection of true substance. This makes sourcing not just easier—but more meaningful.
Tailored Custom Rugs with Antique Soul
While nothing can replace the patina and narrative of an antique, we understand that design constraints sometimes call for something more tailored. Doris Leslie Blau offers custom rug production rooted in the principles of antique weaving—heritage techniques, natural materials, and attention to detail.
Working with master weavers in regions like Tibet, we collaborate with designers to create bespoke floor coverings that feel right at home in high-end Beverly Hills interiors. These aren’t compromises—they’re continuations of an ancient craft, adapted to modern spaces.
Designer-First Approach, Start to Finish
Projects in Beverly Hills often come with layers of complexity: fast timelines, elevated expectations, and the need for cohesion across multiple design elements. We work closely with trade professionals at every phase—whether it’s helping refine a shortlist, providing insight into historical styles, or coordinating logistics for installation.
Our team brings not only inventory knowledge, but decades of experience supporting designers with the context, confidence, and support needed to deliver exceptional results.
Antique Carpets and Rugs as Architectural Layers
The right antique rug doesn’t sit quietly beneath a space—it becomes part of its architectural language. A geometric field that echoes mid-century lines. A floral pattern that softens hard finishes. A muted border that invites quiet transitions between spaces.
This is what elevates an interior: when the floor speaks the same language as the walls, ceilings, and furnishings, yet carries a dialect of its own. It’s why antique carpets and rugs continue to be essential in the work of local designers—they don’t follow the space; they help define it.
A Resource for Rare and Remarkable
The demand for authenticity in Beverly Hills is non-negotiable. In neighborhoods like Trousdale Estates or The Flats, projects call for pieces with presence—rugs that feel personal, distinctive, and above all, right. We routinely source for homes that require oversized Indian textiles, antique runners with architectural intent, or rare finds like Art Deco rugs with European flair.
The designers we collaborate with often come to us looking for something they can’t quite articulate—until they see it.
