Woven entirely by hand, it features a streamlined and rhythmic horizontal stripe motif in alternating shades of ivory, sandy beige, and vibrant red. The composition plays with color balance and repetition, producing a visually engaging linear pattern that feels both timeless and modern. The harmonious palette-anchored in natural earth tones and enhanced by crisp crimson-evokes a subtle energy, making the rug versatile for both rustic and contemporary interiors. The balanced repetition of stripes emphasizes symmetry while still maintaining the artisanal irregularities that make flat-weave kilims so charming. Woven using traditional techniques, the rug is made from high-quality wool, offering durability, breathability, and warmth. The flat-weave construction results in a lightweight yet resilient textile, suitable as a floor covering, wall hanging, or layered over other carpets. Whether placed in a modern loft or a bohemian-inspired living space, this vintage Persian Kilim captures the essence of understated elegance and functional design rooted in cultural heritage. A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition.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.
