Contemporary Hand-Knotted Solid Light Blue Handmade Silk Runner “Alabaster” N12628 2'1" × 18'8" $4,000

Quiet and architectural, this contemporary hand-knotted silk runner presents as a near-solid field of icy light blue with a soft, luminous finish. The absence of border, medallion, or repeat pattern gives the design an unusually clean presence, allowing the subtle tonal shifts in the silk to create all the movement the eye needs. It feels pared back, precise, and quietly refined.

The name Alabaster suits the piece well: its pale, cool surface recalls the smooth clarity of carved stone, while the delicate weave adds a faintly tactile depth. Hand-knotting in silk gives the runner a polished sheen that catches light from different angles, making it especially effective in corridors, galleries, and other narrow spaces where a modern rug should read as an elegant foundation rather than a visual interruption.

As a solid silk runner, it offers the restraint of minimal design with the luxury of meticulous craftsmanship. The result is a contemporary rug that pairs easily with tailored interiors, softens hard finishes, and brings a calm, modern note to both residential and contract settings.

Part of the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, this rug reflects a commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, timeless design, and refined modern living. DLB offers an extensive selection of contemporary, vintage, and antique rugs suited to a wide range of interiors and design sensibilities.

This design is available as a bespoke rug in custom sizes and colors.
