Doris Leslie Blau Collection Hand-knotted Jardin Rug N11976 12'0" × 12'0" $27,300

Just one look at this mesmerizing contemporary area rug is enough to steal one’s heart. Hand-executed with great care and best available materials, the abstract carpet boasts a truly hypnotic pattern, ready to make a statement in a wide array of interiors. Blurred shapes and figures seem to shift and turn around the center of the rug, like a carousel. In some places, we can spot signs of nature – small flowers, trees, and stones – but the full meaning of the design remains a mystery that every onlooker is free to solve in accordance with his or her imagination. The color palette is composed of warm browns with beige, dark slate gray, and cool blue, contrasted with vivacious shades of yellow and red.

Doris Leslie Blau carries an exceptional collection of modern rugs inspired by mid-century Swedish designs. We stay true to the legendary tradition of Scandinavian craftsmanship by hand-weaving flatweave wool Rölakan rugs and wool pile Rya rugs that are very close in looks and feel to the original ones. 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.
