Contemporary Hand-Knotted Classic Taupe Handmade Wool Rug “Big Ben” N11654 5'1" × 7'2" $7,000

Big Ben turns a classic London skyline into a contemporary figural rug, rendering Westminster and the iconic tower in a charcoal-like silhouette against a Classic Taupe ground. The panoramic composition reads almost like a sketch translated into wool, with painterly cloud forms softening the architectural edges and giving the design an atmospheric, gallery-like presence.

Hand-knotted in wool, the surface balances crisp detail with a restrained palette of taupe, cream, black, and dark gray. The absence of a border keeps the scene expansive, while the bridge and river foreground add depth and motion. It is a bold modern rug that still feels tailored and refined, with the texture lending warmth to the graphic image.

Ideal for contemporary, transitional, or collector interiors, this statement piece works beautifully as a focal point in living rooms, studies, or hospitality spaces where artful pattern matters. Big Ben lends architectural character, visual drama, and a quietly moody elegance to the room.

A distinctive addition to Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this modern rug embodies the gallery's commitment to originality and artisanal excellence.
