Modern Hand-Knotted Striped Light Gray And Soft White Handmade Silk Runner “Fulmen” N12068 2'1" × 8'8" $1,800

Fulmen makes the chevron runner feel architectural, with a rhythmic zigzag that travels the length of the field in soft light gray and ivory. The pattern is crisp yet subdued, creating directional movement without breaking the rug’s calm, tonal presence.

Hand-knotted in silk and wool, the surface has a refined luster and a gently tactile hand. Silk lends a subtle sheen to the pale stripes, while wool softens the geometry and gives this modern runner a grounded, durable feel. Fine striations and slight irregularities keep the design artisanal rather than rigid.

Named Fulmen—Latin for lightning bolt—the rug takes its title from the elegant zigzag motif and stormy grey-ivory palette. As a contemporary striped runner, it works beautifully in hallways, entries, and transitional interiors where a clean graphic line can elongate the architecture.

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.
