Contemporary Aubusson Floral Light Gray Flatweave Wool Runner “Zephyra” N12984 4'2" × 10'10" $8,000

Soft gray and whisper-light botanicals give Zephyra its airy Aubusson character. The flatweave wool ground reads as a washed light gray, while slender vine scrolls drift across the surface in an open, unbordered composition. Leaf forms in dusty lilac, powder blue, pale yellow, and muted sage add a delicate, garden-like rhythm without ever feeling dense.

The design leans botanic and floral, but its appeal is in restraint: the allover repeat is loose and asymmetrical, with generous negative space that lets each stem breathe. Pale outlines soften the motif, and the low-profile weave keeps the surface crisp, calm, and easy to place in contemporary or transitional interiors.

Its name, Zephyra, reflects that same sense of movement—a gentle breeze carrying pastel leaves over a quiet gray field. Woven in wool, it offers a refined tactile hand and a grounded, decorative presence that works beautifully in hallways, sitting areas, and layered design schemes, bringing softness without overwhelming architecture or competing with nearby furnishings visually.
