Doris Leslie Blau Collection Sauron Textural Rug N12289 12'1" × 15'1" $28,000

A hand-knotted wool rug with a bold abstract design, in mostly primary colors with black accents.

This large contemporary abstract rug features an abstract, multi-colored medallion on an amber field. The “blocks” radiating outward from the eye-shaped dark center have a diverse palette of colors: blue, brown, amber, gray, pink, and red which alternatingly contrast with and complement the amber background. In addition, these blocks contain subtle stripes of different colors, adding even more diversity to the palette. A closer look will reveal a densely knotted texture that is very pleasing to the touch.

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.
