Contemporary Striped Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Rug In Light Gray “Murmur” N11513 3'5" × 7'2" $2,000

Fine, misty gray striations give this contemporary striped rug its quiet architectural presence. The allover field reads almost solid from a distance, then resolves into subtle linear movement that softens the composition and keeps it visually light. Named Murmur, it reflects the gentle whisper of those delicate bands and the serene, clouded palette.

Hand-knotted in wool and silk, the rug has a softly tactile, low-profile surface with a tailored hand and a gentle, polished sheen. Without a border or central medallion, the design relies on tonal variation and rhythm, creating depth through texture rather than ornament. That restraint allows it to layer easily with clean-lined upholstery, warm woods, and sculptural furnishings.

As a modern rug for contemporary interiors, Murmur works especially well where calm structure is needed. Its light gray ground keeps the look serene, while the fine stripe pattern adds movement to seating areas, bedrooms, or transitional spaces. The result is understated, adaptable, and quietly refined.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this contemporary rug showcases the fusion of heritage techniques and modern aesthetics that defines the gallery's celebrated design philosophy. With a broad spectrum of styles and price points, DLB makes fine carpet art attainable for both seasoned collectors and first-time buyers.

A bespoke interpretation of this design is available upon request.
