Doris Leslie Blau Collection Beach Pebbles Gray Aloe, Silk and Wool Rug N11785 13'5" × 13'9" $17,000

The beauty of this contemporary area rug lies not only in its original design, but also exceptional craftsmanship. The modern pattern carpet was hand knotted with great care using the most interesting fiber blend of aloe, silk and wool. Such a mix makes it not only very soft to touch, but also extremely durable. The pattern depicts small pebbles, like ones you might find at the beach. Minimalist approach to the design is what makes this piece unique – it would be impossible to find another rug exactly as this one. The color palette contains mostly various shades of gray, which brought together gain unexpected depth.

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.
