Hand-Knotted Modern Olive Silk Handmade Rug “Inkstone” N11094 13'3" × 19'0" $41,000

A subdued olive silk field with a weathered, ink-like surface gives this modern rug its quiet authority. Rather than relying on ornament, the design is built on tonal movement: soft dark and lighter shifts ripple across the open field, creating the effect of an abstract ground with depth and restraint.

Hand-knotted in silk, the pile has a refined, low lustre that catches the light without becoming reflective. The result is a solid rug that reads as minimal at first glance, then reveals painterly variation and a gently lived-in character, ideal for contemporary rooms that call for texture instead of pattern.

The name Inkstone speaks to that atmosphere, recalling the smooth, age-darkened surface of a traditional inkstone and its sense of timeless craftsmanship. In a living room, dining room, or tailored interior, this olive silk rug provides a calm architectural base with enough nuance to hold the eye.

Sourced from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this rug embodies sophisticated craftsmanship and modern elegance. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has become internationally recognized for offering exceptional rugs spanning contemporary creations, celebrated vintage designs, and rare antique masterpieces.

This design is available as a bespoke rug in custom sizes and colors.
