Geometric Modern Diagonal Grid Charcoal Hand-Knotted Goat Hair Rug “Oblique” N11468 2'9" × 4'2" $2,000

A charcoal geometric rug with an elongated diagonal lattice, Oblique turns restraint into presence. Hand-knotted from goat hair, it trades sharp graphic contrast for a softly modeled surface, where the pattern is built through pile direction and relief rather than bright linework. The result is architectural, tactile, and quietly assertive.

Within the Taurus Collection, the deep brown-black palette reads as a refined dark neutral, giving the rug a grounded contemporary character. Its allover grid emerges gradually across the field, creating a subtle sense of movement without visual clutter. The dense, shaggy hand adds warmth and depth, allowing the design to feel both modern and naturally expressive.

The name Oblique reflects the rug’s angled geometry and the elegant off-center rhythm of its diagonal intersections. It is well suited to contemporary interiors that call for texture over ornament, bringing dimension to minimalist rooms, layered living spaces, and modern settings with clean-lined furnishings.

Exclusively curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this rug exemplifies the balance of innovation, artistry, and enduring quality that defines the gallery's approach to contemporary carpet design. The expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection includes pieces ranging from understated modern works to one-of-a-kind statement rugs.
