The origin of Antique Rug weaving is often disputed. The most common belief is rug weaving was believed to be first created by Cyrus the Great during his reign of the Persian Empire in 529 B.C. These carpets were made in very small villages for residential use with designs and weavings identifiable of the specific community or tribe they were created.
Stylistically Vintage Rugs have the same appeal as vintage furniture. They are clearly defined by the 20th century and by the celebration of new ideas and values for a modern lifestyle. Fine art and quality craftsmanship are two of the main components of Vintage Rug design. Vintage Rugs were typically made after 1920. Antique Rugs are considered to be made before 1920.
Specializing in antique rugs, the main strength of the Doris Leslie Blau Gallery has been to find the best quality of Oriental and European rugs, many of which have graced the rooms of award winning interiors.
Their clients include Architectural Digest’s “Top 100 Designer” and up-and-coming interior designers from around the world. Doris Leslie Blau bridged the gap between art, design and architecture by making rugs a key element of interior design through their quest for superior quality providing high standards of service.
Among Doris Leslie Blau’s collection of antique rugs they have finely-woven Persian rugs, oversized Turkish carpets, Indian weavings, Russian, Spanish and French Antique Rugs, as well as more recent 20th century modern, Arts and Crafts, Art Deco, flat-woven, hooked and needlepoint examples from Morocco, China, Scandinavia, and the United States.
In the past decade, Doris Leslie Blau has also established itself as a leading source of fine new and custom rugs based on patterns by many well-known contemporary designers, including Alberto Pinto, Jed Johnson Associates, Mariette Himes Gomez, Amy Lau, Miles Redd, and fashion designers such as Nanette Lepore and Tommy Hilfiger.
