Doris Leslie Blau Collection Modernist Style Rug N12283 10'0" × 13'10" $14,000

The design of this contemporary hand-knotted wool area rug is influenced by the aesthetics and the ideology of the Modernist style prominent in the years between the World Wars in Europe and the USA. It was a term that covered a range of movements in art, architecture, design and literature, which largely rejected the styles that came before it. As a design principle Modernism promoted sleek, clean lines.

A sleek design with a sparse brown grid on a beige background, and pops of violet, blue, red, and yellow circles throughout.

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.
