What draws the eye to this exquisite Samarkand rug is certainly its original design.

They are graceful and stylish, full of meanings and full of historical charm. Transferred into the present, Samarkand modern carpets enchant with multiplicity of features reminding of the rich past of this very aesthetics. Come and see how beautiful they are. The old Samarkand used to be an oasis, giving respite to voyagers traveling from Western Europe to China and back. A mosaic of cultures, which highly influenced the development of this transit city, played a significant role in creating the distinctive style of work of the local carpet weavers. 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.
