Modern Hand-Knotted Solid Light Blue Silk Runner “Bluestone” N12633 3'3" × 19'10" $8,000

A cool light-blue field and whisper-soft striations define this hand-knotted silk runner, giving the piece the quiet poise of a modern architectural surface. The composition is intentionally spare: no medallion, no border, just an expansive open field shaped by subtle tonal shifts and a luminous, tactile sheen.

Rather than reading as flat color, the pile reveals delicate abrash-like variation that adds depth and movement without interrupting the minimalist design. As light travels across the silk, the surface shifts between misty azure, clear cerulean, and softer weathered blue, creating a refined sense of dimension that feels calm and contemporary.

Named Bluestone for its serene blue palette and the stone-like, mosaic quality suggested at the edges and in the texture, this runner balances cool elegance with understated visual interest. Its low, dense hand makes it well suited to hallways, stair landings, and other circulation spaces where a modern silk rug should soften the setting while keeping it clean-lined and composed.

Exclusively curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this rug exemplifies the balance of innovation, artistry, and enduring quality that defines the gallery's approach to contemporary carpet design. The expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection includes pieces ranging from understated modern works to one-of-a-kind statement rugs.

A bespoke interpretation of this design is available upon request.
