Doris Leslie Blau Collection Small Tribal Style Moroccan Wool Area Rug

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
Moroccan rugs started out as a strictly tribal craft, fueled by the need for light covers, furniture and saddles. However, what makes it special comparing to other types of rug is that at first none of tribal weavers were officially educated in the art of rug knotting. All they knew they learned from each other or found out through trial and error. This makes Moroccan rugs authentic and original, so no wonder that they continue to inspire artists and designers all over the world. Chances are, you have already seen a Moroccan rug or a modern carpet inspired by it, so don't wait! This stunning Moroccan rug immediately draws the eye with its elegant design. It was hand knotted with great care, using only the highest quality wool. This ensured not only the softness of its pile, but also durability of the weave. Rug's size, 4'0"× 5'10"(122 × 178 cm), makes it a perfect addition to any household, even the smallest ones. The pattern of this contemporary rug consists of a number of zebra-like stripes, which cover entire surface. Three horizontal stripes seem to have more saturated colors, comparing to the rest. Minimalist mix of beige and brown suits this composition perfectly, making it a great choice for those who want a something elegant yet simplistic. Doris Leslie Blau's famed New York City Gallery is full of the highest quality antique rugs and contemporary carpets, waiting for you to discover their beauty and chic. Moroccan rugs, in their variety of textures, colors, and designs have stood the test of time. They are a classic staple in both classic and modern interiors. Our modern Moroccan rugs are handmade by artisans in small, specialized workshops, following the centuries-old tradition. They are handmade of natural undyed wool or of wool colored with natural dyes. Their designs are either of vintage tribal inspiration or traditional with an original twist, designs exclusive to Doris Leslie Blau.
