“Craquelure” Modern Abstract Geometric Light Gray Hand-Knotted Silk Rug N12771 14'10" × 23'5" $57,000

Fine crackled lines animate this light gray hand-knotted silk rug, turning its expansive field into a quiet study of texture and rhythm. The borderless allover pattern reads as abstract geometry rather than a strict motif, with slender slate-gray outlines forming a subtle, irregular network across the surface.

Woven in lustrous silk, the rug has a smooth, luminous hand that softens the crispness of the design and adds depth to the tonal palette. Its restrained light gray ground keeps the look calm and architectural, while the Art Deco-inflected geometry gives the composition enough structure to anchor contemporary, minimalist, or transitional interiors.

The name Craquelure refers to the delicate web of fine cracks found in antique glazes, an effect echoed here in the rug’s fractured, timeworn pattern. The result is a modern rug with the poise of a collected object and the versatility of a refined neutral.

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.

Available for custom production in any size and color palette.
