Contemporary Hand-Knotted Solid Charcoal Mohair Rug “Obsidian” N11820 4'7" × 5'5" $6,000

Obsidian is a charcoal solid rug with a quiet, architectural presence, defined by a borderless field and a mohair surface that shifts gently as the light moves across it. Rather than relying on motif, it draws interest from nuance: a dense hand, soft luster, and faint tonal striations that keep the composition from ever feeling flat.

Hand-knotted in mohair, this modern rug brings warmth and depth to interiors that favor restraint. The square format reinforces its balanced, contemporary character, making it an easy fit beneath low-profile seating, in a refined bedroom, or as a grounding layer in a minimalist living room. Its simplicity is deliberate, allowing texture to do the visual work.

Its name, Obsidian, is a direct reference to the deep black sheen and volcanic-textured tonal variation visible in the weave. That natural, glasslike quality gives the rug a brooding elegance while preserving the clarity of a true solid design.

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.
