Terra Light Gray Rug in Natural Wool N11300 9'0" × 12'0" $13,000

Hand-knotted un-dyed wool Tibetan rug with all-over geometric design.

This geometric pattern rug is hand knotted in wool and is an interesting presentation of the abstract and modern, with its all-over design of small, alternating horizontal and vertical geometric shapes in coal gray against a field of light gray. The design is almost an optical illusion, and is intriguing as such, compelling the viewer into visualizing crosses or intersecting stitched shapes at certain times, and simple linear patterns at others. The stark simplicity of the contemporary carpet is modern and minimalist, and evocative of Art Deco textiles of the past century. The fact that the modern gray rug is hand knotted in wool makes it unique among mass-produced contemporary textiles, both in quality and longevity. Abstraction and linearity dominate the feel of this contemporary area rug while maintaining the intrigue with its play of color shades.
