Doris Leslie Blau Collection Contemporary Oversized Blue, White Aqua Element Rug N11580 13'10" × 27'7" $70,000

This oversized rug combines modern minimalism with the ancient modern pattern carpet-weaving art and, besides the majestic size, it can boast of a truly magnificent design. Its vast field is the reflection of the Arctic sea covered in the cracking ice floe during the early spring season.

This mesmerizing effect was achieved by well thought-out application of colors. Here, the delicate pastel blue shade creates an erratic, “broken” pattern on a calm deep indigo background. Such nature-inspired composition perfectly fits into contemporary aesthetics which makes the black and white geometric rug an ideal option for all up-to-date, spacious interiors. Its qualitative pile was masterly hand-knotted of the finest wool in accordance with old and refined weaving techniques by a skilled artisan. Due to the thorough making, this large beauty will have a chance to please the eyes and feet of its owners for many generations without any signs of wear or damage.

The rug’s fashionable color palette and abstract design imbue it with a timeless appeal. It is definitely not only a space definer but more importantly – a piece of contemporary art.

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.
