Ethereal Smoke Dark Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Contemporary Carpet “Sfumato” N11753 7'6" × 13'2" $14,000

Softly clouded and quietly architectural, this modern wool carpet is defined by a stone gray field that seems to drift between light silver and deeper smoke. Rather than a set pattern, the surface offers an abstract, solid composition with subtle horizontal striations and misty tonal shifts that give the rug depth without interrupting its calm presence.

Hand-knotted in wool, the design has a refined, grounded hand and a gentle low-contrast texture that rewards close viewing. The name Sfumato captures that blurred, atmospheric effect: smoky transitions, softened edges, and a painterly sense of movement across an otherwise open field. It is an elegant choice for designers seeking a contemporary rug that feels restrained yet nuanced.

In a living room, bedroom, or gallery-like interior, this contemporary carpet works as a sophisticated neutral anchor, softening hard lines and layering beautifully with wood, metal, or upholstered furnishings. Its minimalist language makes it especially versatile for modern rugs schemes where texture and tone matter more than ornament.

Exclusively curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this rug exemplifies the balance of innovation, artistry, and enduring quality that defines the gallery's approach to contemporary carpet design. The expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection includes pieces ranging from understated modern works to one-of-a-kind statement rugs.

A bespoke interpretation of this design is available upon request.
