Doris Leslie Blau Collection One-of-a-kind Hand Tufted Silk Rug

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
Great beauty comes through simplicity and this contemporary rug confirms that completely. This oversized wonder combines the ancient rug-weaving art with modern aesthetic thought by basing on minimalism. Instead of figurative motifs, the modern carpet textures build upon texture. The high and low pile is formed in diamond shapes, each of which comprises even more rhombuses within that decrease in size. The borders, thin and sheen, elegantly complement the entire composition. In fact, the piece may be counted among the category of the so-called “solid rugs” because it is rendered in a singular clean off-white hue and its design is very discrete. Such contemporary carpets and rugs are extremely popular among designers around the world because of their versatility and ability to illuminate interiors. Its soft and lustrous pile was thoroughly hand-tufted of the finest silk in accordance with old and refined weaving techniques by a skilled artisan. Such masterful making ensures not only the rug’s uniqueness but also its remarkable quality. This contemporary majestic piece has a chance to adorn the homes of its lucky owners for many generations without any signs of damage. It will most certainly imbue any room with fresh and invigorating energy. 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.
