Traditional Rug Antique-Inspired Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Runner “Crenelle” N11644 2'5" × 21'9" $24,000

Crenelle is a softly restrained Samarkand-style runner defined by a precise central spine of rosettes and stepped medallions, all drawn in whisper-light beige against a soft beige ground. Its name recalls the crenellated geometry that frames the floral centers, adding a French-inflected elegance to the rug’s disciplined architecture.

The elongated composition is organized by a narrow inner field and a sawtooth outer frame, while slim floral guard borders introduce just enough ornament to keep the design alive. Muted touches of taupe, pale blue, and dusty peach lend subtle depth, allowing the runner to read as refined and airy rather than busy.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug has a low, dense pile and a gently timeworn surface that feels tailored underfoot. That balance of durability and softness makes it especially well suited to corridors, stair landings, and gallery-like passages where a traditional runner is needed with a cleaner, more architectural presence.

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.

Available for custom production in any size and color palette.
