Modern Abstract Bark Motif Light Gray Handmade Wool & Silk Rug “Arborea” N11785 13'5" × 13'9" $19,000

Horizontal strié bands and bark-like veining give Arborea its quiet, organic presence. The allover abstract composition has no border or medallion; instead, it layers irregular, lichen-like forms across a light gray ground, creating a surface that feels both natural and precisely considered.

Woven in wool and silk, the hand-knotted pile brings a soft matte-and-sheen contrast to the slate gray, ivory, and soft white palette. The silk lifts the lighter shapes with a faint luminosity, while the wool adds depth and a calm, grounded hand. Its low, dense texture reads almost like brushed stone or weathered bark, giving the rug a subtle sense of motion.

The name Arborea reflects that forest-inspired character, evoking silvery tree bark and a composed sense of woodland elegance. As a contemporary abstract rug, it works beautifully in interiors that call for refined texture, quiet movement, and a neutral foundation that softens clean-lined furniture without visual noise, especially in living rooms, studies, and layered bedrooms.
