Doris Leslie Blau Collection Contemporary Heathered Gray Flat-weave Rug

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
Within its gentle borders lies a proof that the ancient weaving craft and the modern aesthetic thought can coexist in perfect harmony to a great effect. There is no pattern, except for the finishing stripes at the two longer opposite sides of the carpet. Yet, the field of this remarkable modern area rug is far from boring due to the fascinating fringe-like texture. It provides both a visual stir and pleasant tactile sensation. This up-to-date piece is kept in a single light slate gray shade which slightly changes its tone depending on the arrangement of the fibers. All this creates an exceptionally balanced and elegant composition. Achieving such excellence by the simplest means is one of the hallmarks of contemporary art. In terms of execution, this rug is absolutely impeccable. It was masterly hand-made of the finest material in accordance with old and refined weaving techniques by skilled Tibetan craftsmen. It ensures that the piece will serve its owners unblemished for many years, pleasing not only their eyes but also hands and feet. 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.
