If anyone knows rugs, it’s Nader Bolour, rug dealer in NYC, the founder of beloved rug source Doris Leslie Blau, world’s most recognizable brand for the vintage area rugs. Rugs have become far more of a necessity in any important room decoration. Today, most high-end designers base their design scheme on the rug. Rugs’ lasting appeal especially Persian, antique, vintage oriental rugs & oriental carpets is partly due to the mystery of the different weaves and textures present in the rugs and partly (maybe even more importantly) due to the fact that the antique rug imparts soul to a room.
In the living room of a New Jersey mansion designed by Nannette Brown, a Rogers & Goffigon fabric is used for both the curtains and the custom-made sofa. This NYC rug is by Doris Leslie Blau, and the drawing over the sofa is by Catherine Jansens.
