Abstract Modern Ink Brushstroke Light Gray Flatweave Rug “Sumie” N12215 14'5" × 20'2" $36,000

Graphic yet quietly restrained, Sumie turns the language of abstract geometry into a modern flat-weave rug with the presence of a large-scale artwork. Broad charcoal-black blocks, horizontal bands, and vertical bars are set against a light gray ground, while the composition keeps an airy, asymmetrical rhythm rather than a rigid repeat.

The name Sumie is apt: it evokes Japanese ink painting, and the design carries that same balance of gesture and control. Softly frayed edges, brushed transitions, and interrupted linear marks give the surface a hand-rendered quality, as if black ink were pulled across paper in deliberate strokes. Subtle beige along the perimeter adds warmth and depth to the otherwise cool palette.

Hand-woven in wool as a flatweave kilim, the rug has a low, durable profile with a crisp, textural finish. Its contemporary, organic modern character makes it especially suited to open-plan living rooms, gallery-like interiors, and design schemes that call for a refined graphic anchor.

Part of the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, this rug reflects a commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, timeless design, and refined modern living. DLB offers an extensive selection of contemporary, vintage, and antique rugs suited to a wide range of interiors and design sensibilities.
