Modern Natural Fibers Stripes Slate Gray Hand-Knotted Mohair Rug “Fum E” N12170 16'0" × 35'0" $73,000

Horizontal bands of slate gray and smoky amethyst give this modern mohair rug its quiet sense of movement. Rather than a defined border or central motif, the composition unfolds as a restrained abstract field, with soft tonal shifts that read almost like atmospheric brushstrokes.

Hand-knotted in mohair, the rug has a velvety hand and a subtle natural sheen that deepens the layered greys. The understated striations and gentle abrash-like variation keep the surface alive while preserving the calm, minimalist presence designers look for in contemporary rugs.

Named Fum E—a French nod to smoke—the piece captures that hazy transition from amethyst into slate with elegant understatement. In an oversized format, it works especially well in expansive living rooms, open-plan interiors, or architectural settings that need softness without visual clutter.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this contemporary rug showcases the fusion of heritage techniques and modern aesthetics that defines the gallery's celebrated design philosophy. With a broad spectrum of styles and price points, DLB makes fine carpet art attainable for both seasoned collectors and first-time buyers.

This design is available as a bespoke rug in custom sizes and colors.
