A hand-knotted silk runner with uneven horizontal stripes in bold colors including red, gold, brown, violet, charcoal, and navy. A fine rug is the very foundation of any refined space and the single element without which any room can never be complete. A well-selected carpet should be as soft, warm, and colorful as the life lived upon it. 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.
