Traditional Oriental Inspired Rug N11290 9'0" × 11'7" $18,000

This traditional Oriental inspired contemporary rug is hand knotted in wool and features an all-over design of white infinitesimal linear patterns that intersect at intriguing angles to create an ever-changing overall presentation against a field of abrashed brown. The contemporary carpet is striking in its attention to detail, with the design creating squares or rhomboid shapes depending on the visual angle. Resisting having the shapes align perfectly, the design creates an optical illusion of sorts, demanding closer attention from the viewer. While the rug is inspired by Oriental traditions of carpet weaving, it is simultaneously minimalist and modern, with a versatile appeal. As this contemporary carpet is woven by hand using quality wool, it bears a uniqueness in style, value and longevity that makes it stand out from the average mass-produced textiles.
