Modern Abstract Veined Light Gray Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Rug “Vena” N12177 15'0" × 15'8" $41,000

Delicate graphite veining drifts across a luminous light gray field, giving this modern abstract rug the quiet drama of polished stone. Its allover composition is intentionally open and non-repeating, with fractured linear movement that feels organic rather than decorative. The result is a sophisticated surface that adds motion and depth while remaining restrained enough to sit comfortably with clean-lined furniture.

Rendered in silk with a hooked construction, the rug has a softly reflective sheen that keeps the palette cool, crisp, and airy. Fine charcoal lines sharpen the pale ground, creating subtle contrast and a sense of layered texture without visual heaviness. The tactile finish feels refined and architectural, making it especially suited to contemporary interiors that favor clarity, softness, and understated luxury.

Named Vena for the vein-like tracery that defines its pattern, the design captures the refined irregularity of natural stone. It works beautifully in modern living rooms, minimalist studies, and gallery-like spaces where an abstract rug can ground the room with calm presence and quiet sophistication.

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.
