Contemporary Damask Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Rug “Asteria” N12890 9'1" × 12'2" $17,000

Asteria reimagines the damask rug as a quiet, allover lattice of star-like floral motifs set against a pale sand ground. Hand-knotted in wool and silk, it balances a matte foundation with a subtle luminous sheen, giving the pattern definition without interrupting the rug’s serene, contemporary presence.

The borderless composition is built from linked petal forms and small rosette nodes, creating an orderly trellis rhythm that feels architectural rather than ornate. In ivory and soft beige tones, the floral repeat reads as texture first and pattern second, making this modern rug especially suited to refined interiors where softness, clarity, and visual restraint matter.

The name Asteria reflects that celestial quality: the eight-petal motif suggests a starburst, while the delicate pale palette echoes moonlit ivory. As a hand-knotted wool and silk damask, it offers a tailored surface that layers easily beneath upholstered seating, lacquer, or pale wood, bringing quiet dimension to contemporary rooms.

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.

This design is available as a bespoke rug in custom sizes and colors.
