Contemporary Damask Tonal Arabesque Light Gray With Taupe Hand-Knotted Silk Carpet “Hush” N12657 10'0" × 13'10" $21,000

Soft light gray and light taupe arabesques give this hand-knotted silk and wool rug a calm, layered presence, with an allover damask pattern that feels tailored rather than ornate. The full-field composition keeps the surface continuous, allowing the paisley and botanical details to emerge as a whisper of movement across the pale ground.

Silk accents lend a gentle sheen, while wool grounds the design with a supple, refined hand. Rather than relying on contrast, the pattern is softened into tonal relief, creating depth through texture and nuance. It reads as a contemporary rug with traditional influence, equally suited to quiet modern interiors and transitional seating groups.

Named Hush for the nearly imperceptible arabesques that define its character, the rug captures a sense of tranquil elegance with restraint. The result is a modern damask carpet that brings softness, clarity, and an understated decorative rhythm to a room without overpowering it.

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.

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