Doris Leslie Blau Collection Modern Brown Striped Handmade Wool Rug N10701 11'3" × 14'6" $11,800

Inspiration is a fickle thing, but despite its capricious nature it can be found anywhere. Looking at this exquisite contemporary area rug, it is easy to guess where the weaver might have found the idea for its fascinating design. Hand-woven using high quality natural materials, the geometric carpet sports an original pattern, which reminds one of traditional tribal designs both in color and form. It consists of irregular stripes accompanied by tiny kilim motifs placed along the longer edges of the field.

The color palette features natural earthy hues. Brown, beige and touches of black create a perfect mix which further enhances this already stunning modern rug. With such a wonderful décor piece every household will immediately feel homely and inviting.

DLB contemporary rug designs can be inspired by vintage rugs, antique carpets, or by relevant works of art, yet are usually executed with a more modern twist, either in the pattern or the color palette. Many of our modern rugs and contemporary rugs were shaped by top designers and architects exclusive to the Doris Leslie Blau Gallery.

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.
