“Velum” Modern Flatweave Solid Light Gray Wool Oversized Rug N12838 11'4" × 16'8" $20,000

Velum is a restrained modern flatweave rug that reads as a field of light rather than a fixed pattern. Its light gray wool surface is threaded with an almost whisper-thin white grid, creating a subtle geometric cadence that reveals itself gradually and gives the design its quiet depth.

Hand woven in wool, the flatweave construction keeps the profile clean and architectural while adding a finely ribbed texture underfoot. The borderless, open composition and softly washed neutral palette make this contemporary wool rug feel calm, tailored, and visually spacious, especially in interiors that rely on texture instead of ornament.

The name Velum is especially apt: it evokes a delicate veil, and this rug has the same luminous, airy presence. In a living room, dining area, or layered modern interior, it softens hard lines, grounds furnishings with understatement, and brings a polished sense of restraint to the room.

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.

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