About the Item

Soft Tribal Whisper: Modern Hand-Knotted Abstract Wool Rug by Doris Leslie Blau. Size: 15'5" × 21'1" (469 × 642 cm) Hand-knotted in the weaving ateliers of Afghanistan, this exceptional contemporary wool rug captures the poetic balance between tribal heritage and modern abstraction. Its expansive canvas, measuring 21 feet by 16 feet, is alive with gentle rhythm—an almost whisper-like movement of motifs drawn from Berber symbolism, rendered with a softened, painterly hand. Earthy ecru tones and subtle striations form the ground of the composition, punctuated by diamond shapes, chevrons, and organic glyphs in pastel notes of sky blue, dusty rose, celadon, and ochre. These delicate hues appear to emerge from within the wool itself, as if part of the rug's very fiber memory. The design is intentionally understated—tribal yet tranquil—inviting both close contemplation and versatile placement. The rug’s texture is richly tactile, its medium-height pile achieved through traditional hand-knotting with hand-spun wool, resulting in a natural luster and resilient surface. Finishing touches like hand-braided fringes and striped borders enhance its artisanal character. This piece is ideal for grounding large interiors with warmth, artistry, and an elegant nod to ancestral forms reimagined for contemporary living. Showcasing a fusion of tradition and innovation, this modern rug, sourced by Doris Leslie Blau, redefines contemporary luxury. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
