Mrs. Doris Blau, the founder of the gallery, is a legendary name in the world of rug collecting. From the beginning, she was determined to create something different. Something a bit offbeat, as evidenced by the outstanding collection of avant-garde pieces she assembled over the years. Even today, years after she handed over the reins of the company to her worthy successor, Nader Bolour, the gallery continues to operate on the same principles that made it such a popular destination for rug buyers.
