Doris Leslie Blau Collection Contemporary Abstract Blue Ikat Silk, Wool Rug N11281 12'0" × 18'2" $28,000

This contemporary custom designed contemporary area rug is hand knotted in wool and silk and features an all-over design of abstract mint green shapes against a field of neutral beige. The striking abstractions are rendered in raised pile in contrast to the flat background, creating a contemporary carpet for sale that incorporates structure and texture into its design. The finely detailed shapes are evocative of prior art movements where the abstract dominates, such as European Art Deco or various Scandinavian traditions of the 20th century. As such, the contemporary custom modern stair carpet has a minimalist and modern appeal with its detailed yet strikingly simple patterns. As this contemporary carpet is woven by hand using quality wool and silk, 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.
