“Mythical” Modern Animal Solid Light Beige Hand-Knotted Cotton Rug Designed By Jean Lurçat N12953 11'7" × 21'10" $41,000

Mythical turns the Art Deco rug into a pictorial landscape, with animated animal forms gathered in frieze-like bands along the top and bottom edges while a broad light beige field remains open at the center.

The composition feels deliberately framed and modern: striped and swirling creatures in chocolate brown, warm tan, ivory, amber, and accents of brick red create movement without disturbing the rug’s quiet reserve. The result is both narrative and restrained, with Jean Lurçat’s modernist influence visible in the simplified silhouettes and tapestry-like rhythm.

Hand-knotted in cotton, the surface has a soft, tactile character that suits contemporary, eclectic, and Art Deco interiors. As a modern statement rug, it reads like a large-scale art textile, bringing warmth, softness, and gallery-like presence to a 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.
