Abstract Contemporary Slate Gray Hand-Knotted Rug “Lacuna” N12940 14'5" × 24'0" $60,000

Lacuna turns an allover abstract composition into something quietly architectural, balancing a slate gray ground with drifting fields of eroded arabesque and foliate detail. The design feels layered and dissolved at once, as if an antique botanical scroll had been softened into a contemporary surface.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug pairs muted gray tones with charcoal linework and silvery tonal shifts. Irregular voids break through the pattern, creating sculpted negative space and a weathered, painterly effect that reads beautifully in modern and organic modern interiors.

The name Lacuna captures that sense of elegant absence: the visible gaps and worn-through passages are central to the rug’s character, not flaws to be hidden. As a contemporary wool rug, it brings depth, texture, and restraint to open-plan living rooms, dining spaces, or a refined bedroom scheme.

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.

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