Doris Leslie Blau Collection Kisara, Black & Dusty Pink Turkish Modernist Kilim N10852 11'9" × 15'7" $8,000

Although Turkey is one of the oldest weavings hubs in the world, its artisans keep up with the times which this Turkish modern kilim beautifully proves. The piece combines the centuries-old weaving techniques with modern design which makes it qualitative and up to date, ready to complement a wide variety of interiors in the best style.

The field of the rug does not carry any figurative pattern. The entire design relies on proper application of color – extinguished dusty pink mixes here with dark slate gray creating a contrasting, chic and unforgettable composition. Here, the balance between the feminine and masculine element is honed to perfection.

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.
