Doris Leslie Blau Collection Abstract Nepalese Brown, Dark Taupe, Black Hemp Rug N11532 4'7" × 6'6" $3,000

This marvelous Nepalese area rug is strongly related to our Mother Earth, not only in respect of materials but also design. Its thick, qualitative pile was masterly hand-executed of the finest wool according to traditional weaving techniques – there was no machine production involved, just many days spent at the looms by a skillful weaver.

The color palette is composed of toned, autumnal shades, including light brown, dark taupe and pitch black. Instead of figurative representations, we are presented with abstract impressions caused by the irregular patches of color formed into nonchalant stripes. Such a design stimulates our imagination and gives us a chance to interpret the shapes in our sole discretion. Whether it is an animal print or a mountain range that you see, does not matter. There are no bad answers in that wonderful game of reading the pattern. Let this marvelous Nepalese grey contemporary rug take you on an unforgettable adventure to the wilderness.

Today, while creating new modern rug designs, designers focus mostly on pro-environmental, nature-related projects which are both mesmerizing and responsible towards our planet. Artists like the renowned Eskayel group make sure that their works do not harm the natural environment from which they draw major inspirations.

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.
