Modern Hand-Knotted Stripes Light Gray Handmade Silk Rug “Serica” N12104 8'9" × 11'0" $13,000

Serica is a minimalist hand-knotted modern rug defined by a light gray field and barely-there tonal striations. Rather than a literal stripe pattern, it reads as an open, borderless composition with soft movement, giving the surface the quiet discipline of a solid rug while preserving depth and nuance.

Woven in silk and wool, the piece balances a refined sheen with a grounded, tactile feel. The silk introduces a soft luminosity across the neutral ground, while the wool lends structure and lasting strength. As a contemporary rug, it suits interiors that call for clean lines, layered textures, and an understated but polished foundation.

The name Serica is derived from the Latin for silk, a fitting reference to the rug’s silken glow and subtle drifts of gray-beige across the field. In a living room, dining room, or bedroom, it functions as an architectural backdrop that calms the composition without disappearing, making it especially apt for modern and organic modern settings.

A distinctive addition to Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this modern rug embodies the gallery's commitment to originality and artisanal excellence. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has spent six decades connecting discerning clients with extraordinary rugs, from accessible contemporary designs to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
