Contemporary Tribal Ikat Medallion Cream Hand-Knotted Runner “Nomade” N12742 3'0" × 13'10" $9,000

Blurred ikat medallions give this hand-knotted silk runner a quietly graphic, tribal-modern presence. Set against a cream ground, the elongated repeat alternates soft tan outlines with mustard yellow and pale blue accents, creating a vertical rhythm that feels both architectural and freeform.

The pattern reads like a contemporary abstraction of nomadic weaving: stretched diamonds and lozenges rise through the field, their softened edges lending movement without visual clutter. The name “Nomade” is fitting, echoing the sand-dune palette and the refined sense of wanderlust suggested by the rug’s heritage-inspired design.

Woven in silk, the runner has a luminous, low-pile surface that catches light with a subtle sheen and sharpens the tonal layering. Its slender format makes it especially effective in hallways, galleries, and modern interiors seeking a contemporary runner with pattern, softness, and clarity.

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.

Available for custom production in any size and color palette.
