Doris Leslie Blau Collection Aubusson Design Beige, Blue Needlework Rug N11848 13'6" × 23'3" $16,000

This stunning contemporary flat weave cotton rug brings the best of traditional and modern and puts them together to create something completely new. First thing that catches the eye is undoubtedly its pattern. It bears strong similarity to elegant marble floorings at Versailles , making anyone who looks at it feel like a king or queen. The color palette seems to further highlight this resemblance with toned shades of gray. While the whole composition is very classic, modern solutions used while weaving this piece make it delightfully soft and durable, so you can enjoy its beauty for years to come.

Although the majority of people associate carpets with certain shagginess, flat weave rugs in NYC constitute a substantial part of the profound weaving heritage. Flat, modern rugs have widely contributed to the development of rug-making techniques as they represent one of the basic forms of woven 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.
