Size: 12'2" × 18'4" (370 × 558 cm). A stunning fusion of geometric sophistication and artisanal finesse, this contemporary "Rhombus" rug exemplifies the elevated artistry of modern Tibetan weaving. Hand-knotted from a luxurious silk, the rug features a captivating tessellation of fragmented rhomboid shapes in vibrant shades of deep indigo, cobalt, and ivory. The repeating diamond-like motif is executed with painterly precision, evoking a visual rhythm that balances modern abstraction with traditional craftsmanship. The nuanced texture—achieved through the interplay of silk’s gentle sheen and wool’s matte warmth—adds both depth and tactility to the design, creating a dynamic surface that shifts subtly with light and perspective. Its Art Deco influence is subtly suggested through the organized geometry and tonal gradation, but reinterpreted with a fresh, contemporary sensibility that makes the rug versatile for both classic and modern interiors. Woven in Tibet using age-old knotting techniques, this piece not only celebrates visual composition but also the heritage of fine rug-making. A prime example of the exclusive and varied Doris Leslie Blau designs, this rug brings luxury and character to any space. 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. See less
