Doris Leslie Blau Collection Blue Pergolas Rug N12206 15'2" × 25'9" $48,750

A hand-knotted wool rug in cool blues and greys.

This rug combines modernity with tradition. It features minute, diamond-shaped motifs clearly referencing the traditional oriental style, however they are arranged in neat rows and intersect stripes, which are a modern touch. The non-linearity of the stripes is intentional, introducing measured disarray to the rug’s design. The juxtaposition of two, subdued colors create a calm, peaceful vibe and ties into the stripes and diamond chains crisscrossing the main field. The rug is quite large, so its simplistic charm can stretch across an entire room.

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.
