Damask Modern Classic Taupe With Teal Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Rug “Cracklevine” N12897 8'0" × 10'0" $14,000

A sweeping teal vine motif unfurls across a warm taupe field, giving this modern damask rug a botanical character that feels airy rather than ornate. The oversized scrolls and blossom forms are drawn with relaxed confidence, while the open composition leaves generous negative space for a calm, architectural read.

Hand-knotted in wool and silk, the surface balances softness with a faint sheen, so the teal lines sit crisply against the muted ground. Beneath the floral movement, a subtle crackled mosaic of fine rectangular breaks adds quiet texture and depth, reinforcing the rug’s contemporary abstraction.

Aptly named Cracklevine, the design joins the fractured, crackle-like background with the elegant vine scrolls that glide across it. The result is a room-size modern rug that works beautifully in transitional, minimalist, or layered contemporary interiors, where pattern is welcome but restraint still matters.

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.

Available for custom production in any size and color palette.
