Doris Leslie Blau Collection “AD4” Golden Beige and Brown Rug by Arthur Dunnam N03684 4'0" × 6'0" $3,000

While I love antique carpets from many periods and frequently employ them in my work, fabulous antique carpets are not for every budget. I am seduced by the look and character of a magnificent carpet, whether old or new; I’m not an absolute stickler for provenance. Beautifully designed and contemporary carpets made by hand using traditional techniques, borrowed from the past yet speaking strongly of today, are certain to become coveted antiques of tomorrow.

Overall, the offerings in the designer rug and carpet selection bring a sophisticated and creative, modern eye to modern rug design weaving a mix of eclectic and abstract patterns. Many of them subtly recall elements of traditional carpet-weaving such as inclusion of organic forms like the branches and flowers of antique Oriental designer rugs online. Some are inspired by works of art or early modern 20th century beautiful rugs.

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.
