Traditional Antique-Inspired Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug “Sepia Arabesque” N12915 9'9" × 13'1" $15,000

Sepia Arabesque revisits classic Tabriz vocabulary through an Arts and Crafts and Oushak lens, turning a formal floral trellis into something softly atmospheric. On a light beige ground, stacked bands of dark brown vinework and stylized blossoms create a calm architectural rhythm, while the open drawing keeps the composition breathable and understated.

A restrained border frames the field with smaller botanical repeats, reinforcing the rug’s antique character without overwhelming the center. The tonal contrast is subtle rather than sharp, so the motifs feel aged, textured, and elegant—ideal for traditional, transitional, or layered contemporary interiors that call for pattern with understatement.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug has a grounded, tactile presence and a refined matte finish. The name Sepia Arabesque reflects the warm sepia-brown accents and the interlaced floral arabesques visible throughout, a nod to timeless craftsmanship and a versatile foundation for dining rooms, libraries, or formal living spaces. Its low-contrast palette makes it easy to layer with oak, walnut, stone, and neutral upholstery.

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.
