Tibetan. 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.

Woven in China during the late 19th century, this magnificent example of an antique Chinese embroidery textile features an exquisite medallion decorated with spacious vine scrolls. Luminescent flowers, gilt vine scrolls, and graceful botanical motifs are artfully combined in a harmonious medallion. The calming negative space created by the creamy background highlights the dimensional embroidered motifs and the airy Eastern composition. Elegant butterflies, a traditional symbol of joy, love, and longevity, appear throughout the naturalistic medallion along with sylvan branches and graceful scrolling tendrils. The artful shading and tonal highlights are juxtaposed against minute stamens, dainty antennas, and subtle stylized accents that are rendered with an astounding level of detail. These phenomenal attributes exemplify the masterful level of craftsmanship that this elegant antique Chinese embroidery textile represents.

There is nothing like the raw and whimsical charm of tribal craftsmanship. Making our new rugs, we pay respect to tradition while trying to answer the needs of contemporary decorators. As a result, the exceptional flat weave before your eyes combines the centuries-old kilim art with a pinch of modern approach, which makes it an ideal designer item for your abode. The flat weave is covered in an allover design of classic kilim motifs, including “Göz” (Eye) and “Pitrak” (Burdock). Both symbolize protection and are believed to be capable of warding off the Evil Eye. The pattern is rendered in an exceptionally elegant palette of blue and dirty beige, ready to match a wide variety of interior arrangements. In addition to its beautiful appearance, this modern rug is distinguished by impeccable workmanship. It was patiently hand-woven of the finest wool to ensure its resilience and durability. Provided very little care, this modern flat weave will serve its owners for generations, showing no signs of wear.

The delightfully charming abstract design of this contemporary rug is an excellent way to add interest to your room design. This abstract cityscape is like a glimpse into another world. At first, this rug appears to be a random composition of primitive and modern shapes, but if you look more closely, another view begins to emerge.
