Bessarabian Modern Octagonal Medallion Cream Flatweave Wool Rug “Helios” N12786 8'5" × 11'6" $15,000

A rhythmic lattice of octagonal medallions gives this Bessarabian flatweave rug a quietly formal presence. The cream field is divided into repeated compartments, where floral-and-geometric motifs alternate with scalloped crests and small linking rosettes, creating steady movement and a tailored, decorative rhythm.

A brick-red inner and outer border sharpens the composition, while sage, pale celadon, pale sand, terracotta, and charcoal soften the imagery with a warm, timeworn glow. The result is traditional in spirit but crisp in execution, with a visual balance that feels equally suited to layered contemporary interiors or more classic settings.

Woven in wool with a high-low construction, Helios has a subtle sculptural surface that catches light across the pattern. Its name refers to the sunburst feeling of the octagonal medallions and the radiant warmth of the palette, making this modern rug especially well suited to rooms that need pattern, texture, and a composed sense of order.

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.
