“Monolith” Modern Hand-Knotted Striped Off White And Charcoal Handmade Goat Hair Runner N12570 4'0" × 18'6" $7,000

Alternating bands of charcoal gray and ivory give this hand-knotted goat hair runner a disciplined, architectural rhythm. The stripe pattern feels crisp and modern, yet the natural fiber introduces a softer, more organic reading, with a gentle halo at the edges and a tactile surface that catches light differently across each band. Its long, linear format reinforces the sense of movement.

The name Monolith is apt: the repeated stripes resemble a procession of sculptural pillars, while the subtle raised tufts running through the darker bands add a quiet geometric pulse. Set against the snow-white ground, the composition balances restraint and movement, making the design especially compelling in minimalist or casually refined interiors, where its understated contrast makes furnishing decisions easier.

Woven in goat hair, the runner has a dry, substantial hand and a low, durable profile well suited to hallways, entryways, and gallery-like circulation spaces. As a contemporary rug, it delivers texture, order, and visual calm without relying on ornament, and the abstract stripe motif reads as both graphic and quietly artisanal.

Sourced from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this rug embodies sophisticated craftsmanship and modern elegance. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has become internationally recognized for offering exceptional rugs spanning contemporary creations, celebrated vintage designs, and rare antique masterpieces.
