Subtle Grain-Inspired Texture Meets Modern Moroccan Style In A Hand-Knotted Light Gray Wool Rug “Veneer” N12981 9'8" × 10'0" $16,000

Fine strié lines and a deep espresso frame give Veneer its quiet, architectural presence. The light gray field reads as an open, textural plane rather than a formal pattern, with subtle tonal shifts that create movement without breaking the calm, modern composition.

Hand-knotted in wool, this contemporary Moroccan-style rug has a low, dense hand that feels tailored and grounded. The linear surface softens the room while adding enough visual rhythm to anchor seating areas, bedrooms, or restrained transitional interiors. Its contrast between washed gray and dark brown keeps the palette refined and versatile.

The rug’s name is especially apt: the fine, irregular lines evoke the grain of precious wood veneer, translating that organic depth into woven form. It is a composed choice for spaces that call for texture, warmth, and understated luxury.

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.
