Modern Solid Ivory Flatweave Wool Rug “Citadel” N12109 5'9" × 5'10" $3,500

A calm blue field gives this flatweave wool rug its quiet authority, while a stepped ivory border turns the perimeter into a protective frame. The composition is restrained but not minimal: the open center feels spacious, and the crenellated edge lends the piece the architectural presence of a contemporary kilim.

Woven in a low, flat structure, Citadel has the tactile clarity designers value in modern rugs—firm underfoot, textural, and easy to layer. Small slate, pale blue, and plum accents punctuate the border like signals against the neutral ground, adding rhythm without crowding the design. Fringe at the ends softens the geometry and keeps the handwoven character visible.

Its name is apt: the pixelated crenellations recall a fortress wall, enclosing the interior space like a courtyard. That balance of order and openness makes it especially effective in Scandinavian, rustic-modern, or contemporary rooms that call for pattern, structure, and a serene palette.

Part of the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, this rug reflects a commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, timeless design, and refined modern living. DLB offers an extensive selection of contemporary, vintage, and antique rugs suited to a wide range of interiors and design sensibilities.
