About the Item

Contemporary Egyptian Silk Runner by Doris Leslie Blau Size: 2'7" × 8'2" (78 × 248 cm) This exquisite Contemporary Egyptian Silk Runner is a stunning testament to the elegance of traditional design, reimagined through a modern lens. Woven entirely by hand in Egypt, this 8' x 2'10" runner is crafted from 100% silk, lending it a luminous sheen and ultra-soft texture underfoot. The intricate design is inspired by classical Persian garden and niche motifs, arranged in a rhythm of vertical panels across the field. Each compartment features a richly detailed floral composition—lush vinery, delicate palmettes, blossoming shrubs, and stylized urns—all drawn in refined curvilinear outlines. The layout creates a sense of architectural order reminiscent of an oriental prayer rug, but on a grander decorative scale. What sets this runner apart is its vibrant and sophisticated color palette where turquoise pomegranate red and burnt orange take the lead subtly balanced by delicate shades of ivory taupe mint and sienna brown creating a soft yet striking chromatic interplay that lends the piece a regal and luxurious presence perfect for refined and elegant interiors. The border is equally ornate, featuring traditional floral scrolls, rosettes, and stylized vases in a meticulously balanced composition that echoes the central theme while adding depth and framing. The use of fine silk threads enhances the crispness of the intricate motifs and allows for extremely high knot density—evidence of exceptional craftsmanship. A prime example of the exclusive and varied Doris Leslie Blau designs, this rug brings luxury and character to any space. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
