Contemporary Rug Inspired by Andre Arbus N12500 12'4" × 20'3" $45,000

All art aficionados will admit that it’s generally hard to match the elegance and glam of Beaux Arts and Arts Deco. This exceptional rug, inspired by the great works of Andre Arbus, combines the best of both styles. It is a floor covering truly worthy of Great Gatsby’s opulent estate.

This contemporary Art Deco rug carries a cartouche-like design with a plain field embraced by borders. Curvilinear elements add charm and grace to the architectural character of the composition, and compensate for the patternless main field. The color palette relies on neutrals – off-white, green and taupe. The piece was carefully hand-knotted of wool in accordance with traditional techniques to ensure its durability and quality.

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.
