Modern Abstract Linear Ivory Handmade Wool Rug “Cartograph” N12420 10'3" × 13'4" $16,000

Graphic and quietly enigmatic, this hand-knotted wool rug balances a deep charcoal upper field with a textured ivory lower register, creating a composition that feels both architectural and improvised. Fine linear markings descend like measurements or routes, while angular outlines and compartment-like forms interrupt the surface with unexpected geometry.

The contrast between the smooth, dark ground and the denser striated weave below gives the piece its layered character. Ivory linework reads almost topographic against the darker plane, and the lower section introduces a more tactile, slightly irregular rhythm that softens the overall severity. The result is a modern abstract rug with a distinctly Moroccan sensibility and a strong contemporary edge.

Named Cartograph for its map-like structure, the design evokes the logic of navigation through line, boundary, and negative space. It is well suited to interiors that call for an abstract geometric rug with presence, depth, and understated drama, whether placed beneath streamlined furniture or used to ground an art-forward room.

Sourced from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this rug embodies sophisticated craftsmanship and modern elegance. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has become internationally recognized for offering exceptional rugs spanning contemporary creations, celebrated vintage designs, and rare antique masterpieces.

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