Geometric-Style Traditional Medallioned Grid Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet “Aeterna” N11079 14'7" × 19'8" $38,000

Aeterna translates to eternal, and the name suits this Samarkand-inspired contemporary rug, where a disciplined grid of square cartouches gives the design a composed, lasting presence. Each compartment holds a small floral medallion, so the allover pattern reads as structured yet quietly ornamental rather than graphic or severe.

The soft beige field is layered with dusty blue, faded pink, light gray, and warm taupe, all gently muted to preserve the rug’s airy restraint. A broad border hierarchy frames the composition with trellis, meander, and floral bands, adding rhythm without disturbing the calm tone. The result is a geometric rug with a traditional vocabulary and a modern, versatile palette.

Hand-knotted in wool, the carpet has a low, finely detailed surface that softens the geometry and lends depth to the pattern. As an oversized rug, it works beautifully in living rooms, dining areas, and open-plan interiors that call for quiet structure and a refined neutral anchor.

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.
