Contemporary Abstract Woodgrain-Inspired Light Gray With Tan Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Carpet “Xylea” N12480 15'3" × 24'4" $70,000

Xylea reads as a contemporary abstract carpet shaped by the quiet logic of woodgrain, with repeating vertical striations and elliptical rings drifting across a light gray field. The composition has no border, allowing the organic pattern to flow uninterrupted and giving the rug a calm, architectural presence.

Hand-knotted in wool and silk, the surface balances softness with a gentle sheen. Warm tan lines trace the motif with low-contrast clarity, creating the impression of natural grain and mineral veining at once. The result is refined rather than literal, with subtle movement that feels tailored for modern interiors.

Its name reflects that idea: Xylea evokes xylem, linking the design to the tree-like rings and cellular rhythms that inspired it. As an oversized modern rug, it works beautifully in expansive living rooms, open-plan spaces, and transitional settings where an abstract wool-and-silk carpet can add texture without overpowering the room.

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.
