About the Item

Vintage Persian Kilim Rug Doris Leslie Blau Size: 17'0" × 29'4" (518 × 894 cm) Age: Vintage Color: Beige, Cream Origin: Persia Style: Casual, Solid, Stripe Subtle, sophisticated, and grounded in tradition, this vintage Persian Kilim from the 1950s captures the quiet elegance of minimalist design through the lens of authentic tribal craftsmanship. Woven entirely by hand from undyed natural wool, the rug exudes a calming, earthy palette of warm taupes, stone greys, and sandy beiges—each tone softly transitioning into the next to form wide horizontal bands across the expansive field. Its restrained aesthetic is a celebration of natural texture and organic imperfection. The finely woven flatweave construction reveals the artisanal irregularities that make Kilims so collectible—slightly asymmetrical paneling, visible seams, and subtle tonal fluctuations that hint at the hands that made it. Deceptively simple, the design plays with light and shadow through delicate striations and shifting tonal values. These understated stripes, built from varying sheep’s wool hues, lend the rug a sense of rhythm and movement without overwhelming the space. Ideal for anchoring large, open interiors or softening modernist architecture, this oversized Kilim speaks to mid-century sensibilities while remaining timeless in appeal. Its scale and naturalistic presence make it as suited for today’s contemporary settings as for classic, earthy interiors. A masterclass in understatement and authenticity, this Persian Kilim is more than a floor covering—it’s a piece of functional art with enduring character. With its unique pattern and refined colors, this vintage rug reflects the impeccable taste of Doris Leslie Blau’s selections. Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
