Doris Leslie Blau, Taurus Collection Striped White, Anthracite Goat Hair Rug N11796 4'0" × 6'3" $5,000

Hand knotted using high quality goat hair, this mesmerizing modern rug is bound to charm even the most demanding connoisseurs with its wild beauty. What certainly draws the attention is an unusual pattern visible on carpet’s pile. Familiar horizontal lines are cut by slight disturbances in the fibers. As a result we receive a composition which, while conventional, manages to preserve its own defiant originality, as if to spite the rules which tried to bound it. Color palette of this piece might look simple, but helps it to gain even more depth. Classic black and white work together perfectly, highlighting minimalist nature of the geometric carpet patterns.

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.
