Doris Leslie Blau Collection Contemporary Muted Silver, Blue Flat-Weave Wool Rug

Offered by: Doris Leslie Blau Rugs

Description
This delicate and utterly elegant modern area rug is a merger between the ancient art of weaving and the modern aesthetic thought. Its vast field constitutes of two parts with corresponding designs, each resembling a visual representation of the sound wave or slightly hazy winter air. This effect is achieved by the proper application of muted silver and slate blue shades which mix and overlap creating a subtle ombre effect and bring out the pattern. Since people learned how to extract color from nature, blue has become one of the most sough-after hues in the world and today it is more desirable than ever. This remarkable flat weave was thoroughly hand-made of the finest wool in accordance with traditional techniques, mastered throughout the centuries to absolute perfection. Such first-rate execution is a guarantee that the flat weave rug will serve its owners for generations due to its remarkable quality, whereas the moderate yet ingenious design ensures that this piece of art will never go out of fashion. Being one of the oldest forms of carpets, flat weave rugs in NYC might sometimes be considered inferior and more primitive than Oriental knotted pieces. However, such approach is based on misconception and superficial knowledge which does not take into account the enormous variety as well as deep history and meaning of flat weaves. 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.
