Contemporary Abstract Classic Taupe With Tan Hand-Knotted Silk Rug “Shadows Mauve” N11442 12'0" × 18'0" $26,000

Soft vertical trellis forms give this contemporary abstract rug a sense of quiet movement across its warm taupe ground. Rather than a strict repeat, the pattern unfolds in elongated, overlapping loops that create rhythm and depth while keeping the composition restrained and architectural. Tan and soft beige tones drift through the surface, producing a low-contrast palette that feels calm, tailored, and easy to place in refined modern interiors.

Hand-knotted in silk and wool, the rug balances a gentle luster with a more grounded, matte hand. That combination gives the surface a layered, textural quality, with subtle shifts in tone that catch the light without overpowering the room. The abstract trellis motif reads as both decorative and structural, making this modern rug especially effective as a grounding foundation beneath furniture.

The name Shadows Mauve suits its atmosphere of softened edges and muted tonal contrast. In a living room, dining room, or bedroom, it brings warmth and composure while preserving a distinctly contemporary character.

Exclusively curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this rug exemplifies the balance of innovation, artistry, and enduring quality that defines the gallery's approach to contemporary carpet design. The expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection includes pieces ranging from understated modern works to one-of-a-kind statement rugs.

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