Abstract Modern Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Silk Rug “Erosion” N11128 4'5" × 5'10" $4,000

Quietly weathered and distinctly contemporary, this hand-knotted wool rug presents an abstract composition in warm tan, chestnut, and taupe. Rather than a strict repeat or framed border, the surface opens into a soft field of tonal variation, with scattered motif remnants suggesting a faint medallion axis beneath the eroded finish.

That sense of movement is what gives the piece its character. Mirrored clusters appear near the top and bottom, lending the rug a subtle architectural balance, while the open center keeps the overall effect airy and understated. The low, dense pile adds tactility and depth, allowing the warmer browns to settle into the creamy tan ground with a gently worn, almost painterly quality.

Named Erosion, the rug reflects the way those chestnut-beige splotches seem gradually worn away from the surface, creating a sophisticated patina. It brings the quiet presence of a modern abstract rug to interiors that call for warmth, texture, and a calm, artful foundation.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this contemporary rug showcases the fusion of heritage techniques and modern aesthetics that defines the gallery's celebrated design philosophy. With a broad spectrum of styles and price points, DLB makes fine carpet art attainable for both seasoned collectors and first-time buyers.

Available for custom production in any size and color palette.
