Contemporary Hand-Knotted Striped Dark Gray Handmade Goat Hair Carpet “Cortica” N11474 4'0" × 6'2" $2,000

Cortica is a contemporary hand-knotted goat hair rug defined by broad, softly blurred horizontal stripes in dark gray, warm taupe, cream, and deep brown. Rather than a strict graphic repeat, the bands feather at the edges, giving the modern stripe pattern an organic, weathered presence that feels quietly sophisticated.

The shaggy natural-fiber surface adds depth to the restrained composition, with the darker ground reading dense and tactile against the lighter cream bands. That contrast creates a calm architectural rhythm, while the irregular hand of the weave keeps the look relaxed and refined. With no border or central medallion, the design remains allover and easy to place in living rooms, studies, and open-plan spaces.

The name Cortica reflects this character: the blurred bands evoke layered tree bark, and the Latin reference to bark underscores the rug’s natural elegance. Well suited to contemporary, minimalist, and organic modern interiors, it brings texture, warmth, and visual order to a 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.
