Traditional Antique-Inspired Floral Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Rug “Heliantha” N12914 9'9" × 13'9" $17,000

With its warm tan field and softly faded terracotta border, “Heliantha” reinterprets the Tabriz tradition as a serene, decorative floral rug with contemporary ease. The hand-knotted wool surface is filled with mirrored vines, stylized blossoms, and medallion-like cartouches that create order without stiffness.

Radiating sunburst forms give the composition its name: Heliantha recalls sunflower blooms, while the classical Greek root lends the design a refined floral character. Cream, light beige, warm taupe, rust, and muted tan blend into a gently aged palette, allowing the pattern to read as layered and luminous rather than heavy. The border hierarchy frames the field cleanly and adds a measured sense of architecture.

Subtle in contrast yet rich in detail, this traditional floral rug works beautifully in formal living rooms, dining spaces, and layered transitional interiors where a hand-knotted wool rug can anchor the room with quiet presence.

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.
