Doris Leslie Blau Collection Contemporary Silver Handmade Wool Rug N11753 7'6" × 13'2" $12,000

What makes contemporary rugs so fascinating is their great diversity. We are used to seeing most original and innovatory patterns, so a modern area rug devoid of them might seem plain or outright boring. However, this area rug is more than meets the eye. Just like with many other masterpieces, a quick glance won’t reveal all of its charm. Hand knotted from a high quality mix of wool and silk, the solid color rug is not only luxuriously soft, but also extremely durable and ready to serve you faithfully for decades to come. What some people might consider its biggest weakness, a lack of pattern, is actually the rug’s strongest suit. Instead of a pattern, it has a rich texture that begs to be touched. It is complemented by its color, a beautiful shade of gray that seems almost silver.

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.
