Doris Leslie Blau Collection Traditional Oushak Design Rug N12101 14'0" × 21'7" $48,000

This new rug with a traditional Oushak design echoes the latest trends with its color palette while carrying centuries-old motifs that exude an exceptional vintage aura.

The main field is embellished with a perfectly organized pattern of classic Middle-Eastern boteh motifs. Boteh, also known as “buta” or “paisley” is an almond or pine cone-shaped motif in ornament with a sharp-curved upper end. Though probably of Persian origin, it is very common in India, Azerbaijan, Turkey and other countries of the Near East. The composition is complemented by botanical motifs, referring to the Tree of Life symbol. Everything is enclosed within a series of equally compelling borders, adorned with flowering vines and palmettes. The tranquil and stylish color palette of muted green with invigorating touches of red and orange makes this Oushak design rug applicable in practically every décor.

The piece was thoroughly hand-knotted of high-quality wool by a skilled artisan which ensured the rug’s uniqueness and durability. If properly maintained, this oriental rug will serve its owners many years without the slightest signs of wear.

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.
