“Iridestra” Contemporary Abstract Striated Burst Charcoal Hand-Knotted Carpet N12289 12'1" × 15'1" $30,000

Iridestra turns an abstract burst of layered, striped shards into a commanding focal point, set against a warm tan ground that keeps the composition luminous and grounded. The borderless layout allows the central medallion-like form to expand freely, with charcoal outlines giving the angular shapes a crisp, graphic edge.

Within the faceted segments, tones of mustard yellow, brown, gray, coral pink, and soft red create a shifting rhythm of contrast and harmony. The surface reads as hand-knotted and tightly worked, with horizontal striations that add movement, depth, and a subtly tactile character. The result feels contemporary and sculptural rather than ornamental.

The name Iridestra merges “iris” and “strata,” echoing the rug’s eye-like center and layered, geological quality. As a contemporary abstract hand-knotted rug, it brings strong visual energy to modern interiors, offering a richly colored anchor for rooms that call for artful presence and refined texture.

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.

A bespoke interpretation of this design is available upon request.
