Hand-knotted in wool circa mid-20th century, the rug spans 8’0? × 5’1?, offering a compact yet impactful canvas of subdued sophistication.

What distinguishes this piece is its ethereal color palette—an understated blend of blush pink and warm ivory that gives the rug a faded, watercolor-like appearance. The palette is so delicately washed that the traditional Oushak motifs—central medallions, palmettes, and vine scrolls—emerge only gently, like memories on fabric, lending the piece a poetic sense of age and grace.

Despite its minimalism in tone, the craftsmanship remains evident. The pile is finely knotted and evenly clipped, showcasing subtle pattern variations that speak to the handwoven nature of the piece. The soft wool underfoot contributes to a comfortable texture, while the rug’s naturally aged patina brings character and warmth to any space.

Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike. See less
