Doris Leslie Blau Collection Karatas, Turkish Modern Orange Brown Bold Kilim Rug N10857 6'0" × 8'1" $4,200

There is perhaps only one country in the world – Persia – that may try to compete with the excellence of Turkish rug craft. This modern kilim shows that Turkish artisans keep up with the times. The piece combines traditional weaving techniques with contemporary design which makes it both qualitative and up-to-date.

The field of the rug does not carry any figurative pattern. The entire design relies on proper application of color – extinguished orange mixes here with brown, creating a truly invigorating and warm composition. Such a vibrant touch will be welcome in a wide variety of interior decors, from classic to futuristic.

On top of excellent appearance, the rug can boast of refined workmanship. It was carefully handmade of the finest wool by a skilled artisan. Kilims do not have a pile which makes them more durable compared to piled carpets. Provided minimum care, the Turkish rug will serve for generations without any signs of wear, pleasing the eyes of its owners and enriching the space with its glorious presence.

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.
