Damask Modern Handmade Wool & Silk Rug In Dark Gray – “Verdure” N10996 8'0" × 9'10" $9,000

A muted damask of scrolling foliage gives Verdure its quietly layered presence, with floral and foliate forms unfolding across a steel-gray ground in soft slate and blue tones. Rather than a formal medallion, the pattern reads as an allover textile field, allowing the motif to surface and recede with a tailored, atmospheric rhythm.

Hand-knotted in wool and silk, the rug combines a grounded matte body with gentle luster, so the darker blue ornaments register with subtle depth as light moves across the pile. The composition feels refined and textural, with the repeating lattice softened into an elegant modern rug that bridges decorative tradition and contemporary restraint.

The name Verdure is especially apt: it captures the luxuriant scrolling foliage motif and the cool teal-green impression that animates the design, bringing botanical richness without visual weight. In a living room, study, or dining space, this damask anchors furnishings while keeping the architecture calm and composed.

Sourced from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this rug embodies sophisticated craftsmanship and modern elegance. Established in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau has become internationally recognized for offering exceptional rugs spanning contemporary creations, celebrated vintage designs, and rare antique masterpieces.
