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

Effortlessly merging contemporary art with timeless craftsmanship, this large-scale modern flat-weave rug from the Doris Leslie Blau collection is a striking statement piece. Measuring an impressive 20 feet by 15 feet, it embodies a bold aesthetic rooted in abstract geometry and expressive minimalism.

The rug’s design is characterized by a captivating arrangement of hand-drawn linear forms and painterly strokes, reminiscent of modernist graphic compositions or abstract expressionist brushwork. Irregular vertical and horizontal lines intersect across a soft, neutral canvas, creating a dynamic visual rhythm that feels at once structured and spontaneous.

A sophisticated color palette of charcoal black, ivory, and beige is subtly energized by the rug’s textural variation and natural wool grain. The interplay of dark and light elements lends depth and movement, while the uncontrived fringes and gently irregular forms emphasize the artisanal nature of the weaving.

Hand-woven in a flat-weave kilim technique, the rug boasts a low pile and durable construction, making it ideal for high-traffic areas or large open spaces in contemporary interiors. Its organic imperfections and artistic asymmetry suggest the influence of both tribal textile traditions and modern abstract design.

A prime example of the exclusive and varied Doris Leslie Blau designs, this rug brings luxury and character to any space. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
