Doris Leslie Blau Collection Art Deco Inspired Tibetan Rug in Brown and Beige N12739 8'0" × 10'2" $12,000

Inspired with both Chinese and European Art Deco, this modern rug presents an exceptionally chic pattern, orderly but with intriguing irregularities. An allover design of elliptical and circular motifs will introduce an intriguing geometric stir into any interior. All the more, it is rendered in elegant and warm color palette of light brown with orange undertones, yellow and beige that will seamlessly match all kinds of décors.

The design, however, constitutes only a half of the modern rug’s success – let us not forget about the execution. Carefully woven by hand in accordance with traditional techniques by a skilled Tibetan artisan,  the rug will surely withstand years of usage without any signs of wear. The combination of wool and silk ensures that the rug is not only durable but also soft and luminous.

The turn of the 20th century brought a wave of changes that affected not only the sociopolitical field but all forms of artistic expression. It was then, particularly in the 1920s, when Art Deco – Arts Décoratifs – was born, a trend that combined modernist styles with fine craftsmanship and rich materials. During its heyday, Art Deco represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and technological progress. The style infiltrated the world of carpet manufacturers, leading to the creation of fabulous Art Deco rugs, ready to compliment the modern décor and Art Deco furnishings, unlike antique carpets for sale from the previous era.

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.
