Art Nouveau Modern Brick Red Silk Rug Hand-Knotted Masterpiece “Vermilion” N12868 13'0" × 17'7" $35,000

Vermilion presents a bold open-field composition, where a rich brick-red expanse is framed by a regal purple border of mirrored geometric and arabesque forms. The effect is architectural yet fluid: sharp angles, looping lines, and corner anchors create a rhythm around the perimeter while leaving the center calm and expansive.

This hand-knotted modern rug draws on the disciplined glamour of Art Deco design, translating its graphic language into a refined contemporary carpet. Silk and wool give the surface a subtle interplay of sheen and depth, allowing the warm terracotta ground and darker violet accents to read with quiet luminosity. The result is a piece that feels tailored, decorative, and highly considered.

The name Vermilion reflects the rug’s saturated red field and the elevated, jewel-toned character of its purple border. As a geometric silk and wool rug, it brings structure without heaviness, making it a versatile choice for contemporary and transitional interiors that benefit from a strong perimeter motif and a clear sense of design.

Part of the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, this rug reflects the gallery's dedication to pairing traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design vision. DLB offers an expansive selection of modern rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making exceptional carpet art accessible to designers and collectors alike.
