Floral-Design Traditional Light Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Rug “Cuenca” N12741 5'6" × 9'2" $14,000

Softly faded yet richly patterned, the Cuenca rug pairs an Arts and Crafts sensibility with the relaxed symmetry of an Oushak-inspired floral design. A light gray ground sets off an allover trellis of mirrored botanical forms, creating a measured rhythm that feels decorative, not busy, and giving the piece a tailored traditional presence.

The palette is airy and restrained: warm beige, cream, dusty blue, pale aqua, muted yellow, and light brown unfold across the wool surface, while subtle tonal variation adds depth. A scrolling border echoes the field with vine-like ornament, framing the composition and reinforcing its transitional character. Soft edges and gently weathered striations lend the design an inviting, lived-in elegance.

Hand-knotted in wool, Cuenca has a supple hand and a low, dense pile that works beautifully in seating areas, dining rooms, and refined entryways. It offers pattern, softness, and historical reference in one balanced traditional rug, making it an easy fit for interiors that favor calm color and considered detail.

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.

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