Doris Leslie Blau Midcentury Indian Botanic Handmade Wool Carpet

About the Item

Mid-20th Century Indian Botanic Handmade Wool Carpet Size: 13'6" × 18'10" (411 × 574 cm) The beauty of authentic Indian rugs lies not only in their stunning designs, but also wonderful history. During the centuries of their existence, Indian rugs played an important party in the households of both common people and aristocrats. For many years their piles served also as basic furniture and meeting places for friends and families. This makes antique Indian rugs a very special type of decoration, one that is also a part of the household itself. This wonderful antique Indian rug was woven in the mid-20th century, circa 1950. Its stunning pattern immediately draws attention with its effortless elegance. The central field contains an overall lattice-like design of alternating rows lozenges containing floral motifs within a beige flowerhead. All of this is framed by a vine trellis border. The color palette accompanying this composition, while modest, helps to balance out rather decorative pattern. Sandy beiges work fabulously with delicate blue and dark gray, making this antique rug a true masterpiece. The size of this piece, 13’6? × 18’10” (411 × 574 cm), makes it a great choice for spacious interiors in need of some classic elegance of the Orient. With an Indian rug like this one any household can become truly special and unforgettable! A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship.
