Art Nouveau Modern Rug With Hand-Knotted Hemp Zigzag Waves In Slate Gray “Tidecrest” N12758 12'10" × 23'9" $28,000

Rhythmic zigzag waves give this oversized hand-knotted hemp rug its clear design identity, balancing Art Nouveau movement with a disciplined modern geometry. The borderless composition is organized in stacked horizontal registers, so the pattern reads as a continuous current rather than a contained motif.

Against the slate gray field, muted teal, dusty blue, olive, sage, taupe, and brown tones create a weathered, abrash-like surface that feels quietly layered. The zigzag forms appear softened by tonal variation and open negative space, allowing the geometry to remain expressive without becoming graphic. The name Tidecrest reflects that cresting-wave rhythm and the serene, aquatic character of the palette.

Woven in hemp, the rug has a textural, grounded quality that suits contemporary and transitional interiors alike. It brings directional energy to a room while remaining easy to pair with clean-lined furnishings, sculptural pieces, and restrained color schemes. As a modern geometric rug with an Art Nouveau sensibility, it offers a sophisticated foundation for large living spaces and refined interiors.

Part of the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, this rug reflects the gallery's dedication to pairing traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design vision. DLB offers an expansive selection of modern rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making exceptional carpet art accessible to designers and collectors alike.
