“Aquaveil” Contemporary Striped Light Gray And Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet N12498 6'0" × 9'10" $9,500

Soft horizontal bands of pale blue drift across a light gray field, giving “Aquaveil” its calm, atmospheric identity. Rather than a rigid stripe pattern, the composition reads as softened striations with gentle abrash-like movement, so the surface feels painterly and architectural at once.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug has a refined, closely woven hand that highlights the subtle shifts from icy blue to silvery gray and white. The low-contrast banding elongates the room visually while preserving an open, borderless presence, making it a natural fit for contemporary, minimalist, or coastal-inspired interiors.

The name Aquaveil reflects that luminous, water-like effect: a shimmering veil of color rather than a literal motif. Quiet but distinctive, this modern striped rug brings texture, rhythm, and an easy sense of movement to a room without overwhelming surrounding furnishings.

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.

A bespoke interpretation of this design is available upon request.
