Modern Flatweave Geometric Charcoal Hand-Knotted Rug “Carreau” N11680 7'5" × 8'2" $9,200

Deep charcoal and a disciplined panel grid give Carreau its quiet architectural presence. The rug replaces ornament with structure, using broad, low-contrast divisions to create an allover geometric field that feels measured, tailored, and distinctly modern. Its noir palette keeps the composition subdued while allowing the grid to register with subtle precision.

From the surface, the piece reads almost like a refined textile panel: matte, compact, and evenly worked, with the seams forming a restrained rhythm across the field. That balance of flatweave clarity and hand-knotted character lends the rug a crisp, contemporary hand without visual heaviness, making it especially well suited to interiors that favor line, proportion, and negative space.

The name Carreau, French for tile, neatly reflects the rug’s tiled arrangement and its elegant sense of order. In a living room, study, or open-plan setting, it acts as a calm foundation that supports furnishings rather than competing with them. Its dark neutral tone gives modern rooms an anchoring depth with understated sophistication.

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.
