About the Item
Vintage Irish Donegal Botanical Rug in Soft Earth Tones Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 11'10" × 14'9" (360 × 449 cm)
Evoking the serene spirit of early 20th-century Irish craftsmanship, this vintage Donegal rug is a graceful example of the region’s famed weaving tradition. Woven circa 1930, the rug exemplifies the subtle elegance and artistic vision for which Donegal carpets are celebrated. Its soft botanical theme blends seamlessly into a minimalist design language, making it a unique bridge between Arts
Crafts movement ideals and modern aesthetics.
The rug’s field features meandering, delicate floral vines rendered in a nearly monochromatic palette of taupe, stone grey, and muted rust. Subtle outlines in soft amber trace the elegant arcs of blooming stems and flower baskets, emerging gently from the finely knotted wool surface like ghostly silhouettes. The restrained composition draws the eye to the quality of craftsmanship—every loop and knot executed with precision, ensuring lasting texture and beauty.
Despite its size, the design retains an airy, understated quality that allows it to anchor a space without overwhelming it. The pattern reads almost like a sketch in wool, a muted tapestry of organic lines that offers visual interest while remaining serene and unobtrusive.
This rare Donegal carpet would be an exceptional choice for collectors or interior designers seeking an authentic vintage piece with timeless sophistication. Its subdued color palette and refined artistry make it ideal for interiors ranging from traditional to contemporary, adding a quiet depth and tactile warmth to any room.
This piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, 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.

Eliko Rugs by David Ariel Modern Tulu Rug, Light Brown Field
Located in New York, NY
Afghan Tulu carpets, are a type of handwoven rug originating from Afghanistan. "Tulu" refers to the long pile or shaggy texture of the rug. These rugs are known for their unique and distinctive appearance, featuring a thick, plush pile that creates a soft and luxurious feel underfoot. The word "Tulu" is derived from the Persian word "tolu," meaning hairy or shaggy. Afghan Tulu rugs are traditionally made by Afghan artisans, particularly from the Turkmen and Hazara tribes. They are crafted using a combination of traditional hand-weaving techniques and high-quality wool, resulting in a durable and textured rug. The pile of Afghan Tulu rugs is typically made of long, soft wool fibers that are loosely woven, giving them a cozy and fluffy appearance. The shaggy texture provides excellent insulation and warmth, making these rugs ideal for cold climates. They often feature geometric patterns, intricate designs, or tribal motifs, reflecting the cultural heritage and craftsmanship of Afghanistan. Afghan Tulu rugs come in various sizes, colors, and designs, allowing for versatility in home decor. They can be used as area rugs in living rooms, bedrooms, or even as decorative pieces hung on walls. Due to their handcrafted nature, each rug is unique and may contain slight variations, adding to their charm and character. These rugs have gained popularity worldwide for their exquisite craftsmanship and the warmth they bring to interior spaces. Afghan Tulu rugs are not only functional but also serve as beautiful works of art, showcasing the rich weaving traditions of Afghanistan. Eliko Rugs by David Ariel...
