Modern Art Nouveau Geometric Oversized Hand-Knotted Wool Rug In Light Blue “Cadenza” N12821 12'0" × 15'2" $19,000

Rhythmic geometry gives this hand-knotted wool rug its clear Art Deco identity, with a cerulean light blue field animated by mirrored panels, linear striations, and saffron-orange accents. The composition feels architectural yet airy, balancing a graphic framework with generous negative space.

At the center, a pale blue ground is drawn into vertical bands that converge toward triangular terminals, creating movement without visual heaviness. Darker blue lattice forms and small warm notes punctuate the upper and lower registers, while the corners introduce stylized floral-medallion motifs and striped spandrels that reinforce the rug’s bilateral symmetry. A low, soft pile lends the surface a calm, tailored hand.

Named Cadenza for the musical rhythm suggested by the triangular clusters and lively saffron notes, this modern geometric rug reads like notation across a blue field. It is an elegant choice for contemporary interiors seeking a statement wool rug with Art Nouveau influence, Art Deco precision, and a composed, designer-friendly presence.

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.

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