“Optique” Modern Oversized Flatweave Geometric Light Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Rug N11878 14'0" × 23'6" $42,000

A restrained checkerboard rhythm gives “Optique” its character, alternating solid gray squares with finely striped blocks to create an optical surface that feels architectural rather than busy.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug has a flatweave profile and a crisp, low surface with a softly heathered hand. The light gray field is tempered by charcoal inflections, while a quiet border in natural beige, dotted with small brick-red checks and finished with a red edge, frames the composition with subtle warmth.

The name Optique is fitting: the repeated grid and shifting woven directions generate a measured visual play that echoes sleek Scandinavian design. As an oversized geometric rug, it brings structure and texture to contemporary living rooms, dining areas, or open-plan interiors without overpowering the architecture.

Part of the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, this rug reflects the gallery's dedication to pairing traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design vision. DLB offers an expansive selection of modern rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making exceptional carpet art accessible to designers and collectors alike.
