Modern Hand-Knotted Striped Light Gray And Handmade Silk Rug “Axis” N10923 9'0" × 12'0" $14,000

Broad tonal stripes give this modern hand-knotted rug a calm, architectural presence. In soft light gray and silvery taupe, the composition feels deliberately restrained, with horizontal bands that create a steady visual cadence across the open field. The result is a contemporary striped rug that reads as refined and quietly graphic rather than decorative.

Woven in silk and wool, Axis balances a subtle sheen with a soft, tactile surface. The silk lifts the lighter tones, while the wool grounds the design and gives the stripes a gentle, lived-in depth. With no border or central medallion, the pattern remains clean and minimal, making it especially suited to modern interiors, gallery-like rooms, and interiors that favor strong lines over ornament.

The rug’s name reflects its disciplined structure: the measured stripe rhythm creates a sense of symmetry and composure, drawing the eye through the room with understated elegance.
