“Electrum” Modern Animal Tiger Brown Hand-Knotted Rug N12686 2'0" × 3'0" $1,200

Bold and graphic, this modern animal rug reimagines tiger-stripe patterning as a clean, architectural composition. A sandy brown wool field is energized by sharp black markings arranged along a strong central axis, giving the square format a sense of rhythm, symmetry, and quiet tension.

The hand-knotted construction lends the surface a dense, tactile character, while the low, irregular pile adds subtle movement to the warm neutral background. Rather than relying on a literal animal motif, the design abstracts the tiger reference into staggered dash-like forms and a commanding vertical spine, creating an animalia and geometric language that feels contemporary and refined.

Named Electrum, the rug echoes the warm golden field and striking black “lightning” motifs, with the title suggesting the look of a precious alloy and a lasting sense of luxury. Its casual modern profile makes it well suited to layered interiors, where a compact wool rug can bring pattern, texture, and graphic clarity.

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.

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