Expansive Abstract Light Blue Modern Hand-Knotted Wool Oversized Rug “Fretwork” N12529 11'2" × 20'0" $37,000

Fretwork turns a soft light blue field into an allover architectural composition, where ivory linear tracery forms staggered blocks and open, labyrinth-like sections. The result is geometric without feeling rigid: a modern abstract rug with a calm, airy presence and no formal border to interrupt the rhythm.

Hand-knotted in wool, the surface carries a gentle textural variance, with subtle shifts in pale blue that add depth beneath the pattern. The low, dense pile softens the crispness of the linework, giving the rug a quiet, tactile quality and a hand-drawn character that feels both refined and relaxed.

True to its name, Fretwork suggests interlocking framework and line, making it especially effective in Scandinavian and modern interiors. It can anchor a living room, dining area, or open-plan setting with understated color and graphic structure, and its bespoke sensibility suits projects seeking a custom modern rug with measured presence.

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.

A bespoke interpretation of this design is available upon request.
