Hand-Knotted Modern Solid Light Gray Handmade Wool Rug “Nacre” N11714 8'9" × 11'10" $21,000

“Nacre” is a hand-knotted modern solid rug distinguished by its barely-there strié and luminous, pearl-like surface. Rather than relying on ornament, it creates interest through fine diagonal movement across a soft light gray field, giving the composition a calm, architectural presence.

The palette reads as an elegant blend of ivory, pale gray, and whisper-soft blue undertones, shifting subtly with the light. That quiet variation adds depth without interrupting the rug’s clean, contemporary character, making it an easy fit for interiors that favor restraint, texture, and tonal layering.

The name Nacre is especially apt: it evokes the pearlescent quality of mother-of-pearl and the delicate, layered sheen visible in the weave. Crafted in wool, this contemporary area rug offers a refined hand and a grounded, versatile look for modern living rooms, bedrooms, or designer spaces that call for a solid wool rug with understated character.
