Modern Hand-Knotted Stripes Light Gray Handmade Silk Rug “Silversheen” N12906 9'0" × 12'1" $17,000

Horizontal bands of light gray, silver, ivory, and soft beige give this contemporary hand-knotted silk rug a calm, architectural rhythm. Rather than a strict repeat, the stripe pattern reads as a tonal gradient, with wide bands that gently shift in color and intensity across the surface. The result is restrained yet expressive, ideal for modern interiors that call for a refined visual anchor.

Woven in silk, the rug has a luminous hand that subtly changes with the light, revealing hints of pale blue and lavender beneath the dominant gray palette. Its low, dense texture emphasizes the clarity of the abstract stripes while softening the overall effect, allowing the design to feel polished rather than graphic. The composition has the quiet presence of a minimalist modern rug, but with more depth and nuance.

Silversheen is a fitting name for the piece: it captures both the silver-grey gradient and the shimmering sheen that defines its surface. In living rooms, bedrooms, or private studies, this striped silk rug brings a serene, contemporary finish without overwhelming the room.
