Modern Abstract Warm Tan With Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Runner “Patina” N11123 3'6" × 10'9" $8,000

Softly weathered and quietly graphic, this hand-knotted wool runner layers a warm tan field with scattered taupe medallion fragments that feel both abstract and subtly botanical. The composition is open and airy, allowing the runner to read as a restrained statement rather than a heavy pattern.

Repeated crest-like forms drift along the length of the rug in low-contrast, painterly distressing, creating rhythm without interrupting the calm background. The creamy center and tonal tan edges give the surface a patinated character, while the low, dense pile adds a smooth, tailored hand.

Named Patina, it reflects the gentle taupe splatters on a creamy field and the refined depth of a well-aged surface. As a modern abstract runner, it suits contemporary, transitional, and warm minimalist interiors, bringing texture, movement, and a subtle focal line to hallways and circulation spaces.

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.

This design is available as a bespoke rug in custom sizes and colors.
