Modern Hand-Knotted Striped Charcoal Handmade Wool Rug “Shale” N11834 6'6" × 7'7" $2,800

Layered horizontal striations give this hand-knotted wool rug the quiet presence of weathered stone. In charcoal and muted gray, the full-field stripe composition reads as an abstract surface rather than a literal pattern, with soft tonal shifts that keep the design restrained and highly architectural.

Without a border or central medallion, the rug works as a calm modern ground, lending rhythm and depth to rooms that rely on clean lines and edited furnishings. The wool weave adds a tactile, durable hand, while the low-contrast banding brings movement without visual noise in a square format.

The name Shale is especially apt: it evokes the layered, sedimentary look of the rug’s striated surface, as well as its cool, sophisticated palette. Well suited to contemporary interiors, this striped modern rug can anchor a seating area, soften a minimalist plan, or ground art-forward spaces with understated texture.

A distinctive addition to Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this modern rug embodies the gallery's commitment to originality and artisanal excellence. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has spent six decades connecting discerning clients with extraordinary rugs, from accessible contemporary designs to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.

Available for custom production in any size and color palette.
