Flat Weave Rug N11259 2'9" × 6'8" $1,500

This contemporary flat weave rug is hand knotted in wool and features an all-over design of repeating small oval abstractions in rows that traverse the piece in three equally spaced places, separated by vertical parallel lines. The finely detailed and textured pattern is in abrashed brown against a neutral off-white field. Small fringe surrounds and completes the look of the modern stair carpet. The overall effect is one of stark minimalism and modernity, and is evocative of various art movements that concentrated on abstraction, like European Art Deco.

The simplicity that belies the attention to detail and effective use of space of the piece makes it an appealing collectors’ item. As this contemporary flat weave wool rug is woven by hand using quality wool, it bears a uniqueness in style, value and longevity that makes it stand out from the average mass-produced textiles.
