“Damascene” Modern Damask Tone-On-Tone Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool & Silk Rug N11966 6'8" × 9'0" $7,500

A whisper-light damask in soft beige, this hand-knotted wool and silk rug turns a classical floral repeat into an airy, contemporary ground. Its low-contrast composition feels tailored rather than ornate, with the silk lending a quiet sheen that animates the surface as light moves across it.

The allover pattern is built from scrolling palmettes, leaf tendrils, and small floral forms arranged without a border or central medallion, allowing the design to read as a continuous field. Ivory and pale gray nuances soften the geometry of the repeat, while the wool foundation keeps the effect warm, calm, and pleasantly tactile.

The name Damascene is an apt cue to its character: it evokes the damask tradition behind the motif and the rug’s refined, tone-on-tone restraint. In a living room, bedroom, or formal sitting area, it offers pattern with discretion, creating texture and depth without disturbing an understated palette.

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.
