Modern Art Deco Geometric Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Runner “Altara” N12261 5'3" × 18'3" $16,000

Altara distills Art Deco geometry into a restrained modern runner, pairing a soft beige ground with crisp vertical bands, a charcoal stripe, and pale blue accents. Its asymmetrical composition feels architectural rather than decorative, using open space as deliberately as the drawn elements.

Along the upper edge, stepped triangle motifs create a subtle frieze, while a block of fine horizontal striping on one side adds a second rhythm. The palette stays quiet and nuanced—ivory, tan, light blue, and near-black—so the design reads graphic without overpowering a room.

Hand-knotted in wool, Altara has the low, dense hand designers value for contemporary rugs that need both clarity and softness. The tactile surface tempers the crisp geometry, making it a refined choice for a hallway, gallery-like interior, or any modern setting that calls for Art Deco structure with a calm finish.

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.
