Doris Leslie Blau bridges the worlds of art, design, and architecture by positioning rugs as central elements within interior spaces, combining curatorial expertise with the highest standards of service.
The gallery’s collection spans an extraordinary range of antique carpets, including finely woven Persian rugs, oversized Turkish pieces, Indian and European weavings, and rare examples from Russia, Spain, France, Morocco, China, Scandinavia, and the United States. Alongside these historical works, Doris Leslie Blau produces distinctive one-of-a-kind contemporary rugs, ensuring that each piece—whether antique or newly created—offers character, craftsmanship, and timeless presence.
