Modern Hand-Knotted Solid Slate Gray Handmade Wool Oversized Rug “Ardoise” N11276 12'10" × 19'0" $30,000

Ardoise distills the modern solid rug into a calm, slate-gray expanse, where soft tonal variation and faint striation create depth without breaking the field. Hand-knotted in wool, it reads as quietly architectural, with a restrained surface that feels both tailored and tactile.

The name Ardoise is a direct nod to the rug’s stone-like character: a layered gray palette with cool, mineral undertones and a velvety finish reminiscent of fine slate. With no border or medallion to interrupt the composition, the design lets texture do the work, offering a refined sense of movement across the open field.

As a contemporary wool rug, it brings warmth and visual clarity to modern, minimalist, and transitional interiors alike. Its understated presence makes it an effective grounding piece for large seating areas, dining rooms, or editorial spaces that call for a modern rug with substance and restraint.

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.
