Founded in 1965 by Doris Blau and now led by Nader Bolour, the gallery has long been a trusted destination for interior designers, collectors, and design professionals seeking rare and distinctive pieces. While continuing its legacy of sourcing exceptional 19th- and 20th-century rugs from around the world, Doris Leslie Blau is equally recognized for creating unique contemporary and bespoke rugs that reinterpret tradition through innovative use of texture, color, and scale.
Located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, the gallery has served as a valued advisor to the design community for more than 60 years, working closely with many of Architectural Digest’s Top 100 Designers as well as leading emerging talents worldwide. 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.
