“Lignum” Modern Solid Light Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug N12233 6'0" × 12'0" $13,000

Soft light taupe gives this hand-knotted wool rug its quiet architectural presence. Nearly solid at a glance, the open field is animated by fine horizontal striations and gentle tonal shifts that move between ivory, misty beige, and warm taupe. The effect is calm, layered, and distinctly modern.

The borderless composition keeps the focus on surface rather than motif, allowing the subtle abrash-like variation to read as texture. Woven in wool with a knotted construction, Lignum has a refined, low-profile hand that brings softness underfoot while preserving a crisp, tailored appearance. Its minimalist style feels equally suited to contemporary living rooms, bedrooms, or offices.

As a solid strié design, it functions as an elegant neutral foundation, grounding furniture and art without visual noise. The restrained palette makes it easy to pair with wood, stone, boucle, and polished metal, while the nuanced weave adds depth that rewards a closer look.

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.
