Subtle Grid-Textured Light Gray Modern Flatweave Wool Rug “Gaufre” N11705 12'4" × 17'3" $20,000

A quiet grid of light gray wool gives Gaufre its architectural presence. This modern flatweave rug pairs a nearly solid field with a faint strié rhythm, so the surface reads calm from a distance and richly textured up close. Borderless and restrained, it brings tailored simplicity to contemporary interiors without softening their clean lines.

Woven in wool, the flat weave creates a low, dense hand with subtle tonal movement in ivory-leaning gray. The name Gaufre, French for “waffle,” directly references the fine waffle-like texture, a refined detail that adds tactile interest while preserving the rug’s serene, understated character. Narrow fringed selvedges on the sides finish the composition with quiet detail.

Ideal for modern, Scandinavian, or minimalist rooms, this new rug layers easily beneath wood, stone, or upholstered furnishings and works equally well as a grounding field in open-plan spaces. A bespoke interpretation is available upon request.

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.
