Traditional Contemporary Medallion Light Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet “Pallidion” N13059 9'0" × 12'0" $8,000

A silvery light-gray field gives Argentel a quietly architectural presence, with softened geometric lines and faded arabesque fragments emerging like a memory rather than a hard-edged motif. The name suits the piece well: it evokes the rug’s argent, pallid ground while echoing the refined, understated character of its distilled patterning.

Rather than a dominant medallion, the composition relies on layered horizontal banding, sparse ornament, and subtle border references to build rhythm across the surface. Light gray and off-white tones keep the design airy and restrained, while the delicate abstract geometry adds enough structure to anchor a room without overwhelming it.

Hand-knotted in wool, this contemporary traditional rug offers a softly textured hand and a calm, versatile palette suited to modern living rooms, dining areas, and elegant layered interiors. Its quiet contrast and weathered visual depth make it especially effective in spaces that call for pattern, warmth, and visual breathing room.

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.

Available for custom production in any size and color palette.
