Modern Art Deco Geometric Sand Hand-Knotted Silk Runner “Zenith” N12267 5'0" × 19'5" $17,000

Art Deco geometry takes a restrained, architectural turn in this sand-toned runner, where sharp black triangles, vertical bands, and a measured stripe sequence create a composition that feels precise yet airy. The layout has a clear modernist rhythm, with the open ground keeping the design light rather than heavy.

Along one edge, a row of dark triangular forms introduces a strong graphic gesture; elsewhere, slim ivory and beige columns, a charcoal panel, and a pale blue-gray band build quiet contrast. A horizontal block of fine black stripes adds another layer of movement, breaking the field with controlled, Bauhaus-leaning linearity. Hand-knotted in silk and wool, the surface carries a soft luster and a low, refined hand.

Named Zenith, the runner reflects the ascending triangular motif and serene stripe arrangement that suggest a lifted, upward movement toward a modern peak. Its calm palette and crisp geometry make it especially effective in long corridors, entries, and gallery-like interiors where a contemporary Art Deco runner can bring structure without visual weight.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this contemporary rug showcases the fusion of heritage techniques and modern aesthetics that defines the gallery's celebrated design philosophy. With a broad spectrum of styles and price points, DLB makes fine carpet art attainable for both seasoned collectors and first-time buyers.

Available for custom production in any size and color palette.
