Contemporary Runner N12528 2'10" × 23'10" $6,000

This contemporary black and white abstract runner draws the attention not only thanks to its stunning design, but also superb craftsmanship. Hand knotted using high quality blend of wool and silk, the carpet is not only durable, but also delightfully soft to touch. The pattern featured on the pile is certainly fascinating. Seemingly random scribbles on the bare background look as if they once were part of a greater composition. Color palette seems to further highlight this – delicate black on off-white looks almost like a piece of precious marble.
