Doris Leslie Blau Collection Contemporary Beige Flat-Weave Wool Rug N11295 11'8" × 16'4" $15,000

This custom design flat weave wool rug is hand knotted in wool and features an all-over design of small, densely structured geometric abstractions in a shade of beige that is slightly darker than the light field. As a result, the intricate pattern demands attention as it reveals its intricacy. The overall effect of the contemporary modern carpet textures is one of starkness and minimalism, with an appeal to the modernist collector as it evokes noted abstract styles like Deco and Scandinavian rugs of the past century. The flat weave of the contemporary rug makes it durable, lightweight and global in its appeal. As this contemporary carpet is woven by hand using quality wool, it bears a uniqueness in style, value and longevity that makes it stand out from the average mass-produced textiles.

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.
