Traditional Rug Abstract-Inspired Geometric Slate Gray Hand-Knotted Silk Carpet “Mistlace” N12892 8'5" × 11'6" $17,000

Mistlace brings an abstract-geometric reading of a traditional rug into a cool, contemporary register. Over a slate gray field, pale ivory, light blue, and charcoal forms drift in layered bands, creating a composition that feels both structured and atmospheric. The absence of a formal border keeps the eye moving across the entire hand-knotted surface.

Horizontal striations run through the design like weathered brushstrokes, while irregular columnar motifs interrupt the flow with a softly architectural rhythm. The result is less medallion than allover field, with enough negative space and tonal variation to keep the rug visually light. Its lace-like edges and blurred transitions add a sense of movement without losing clarity.

Hand-knotted in silk and wool, Mistlace balances a subtle sheen with a denser, matte hand, giving the surface depth without excess shine. The name is especially fitting: it reflects the rug’s misty palette, delicate motif work, and refined vertical striations, making it a versatile anchor for contemporary living rooms, bedrooms, and polished modern interiors.

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.
