Vintage Floral Slate Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Bamboo BB7868 3'10" × 10'9" $5,000

This vintage hand-knotted wool rug brings a bamboo motif into a slender, elongated format that feels tailored for a hallway or narrow interior passage. The slate-gray ground keeps the composition calm, while the softly drawn botanical elements emerge with understated clarity rather than bold contrast. Its casual spirit makes it especially suited to layered, contemporary rooms.

A pair of geometric end borders frames the field like architectural panels, lending order to the loose, branching bamboo stems. The design balances botanical movement with a measured, almost modern rhythm, and the aged surface softens the drawing so the pattern reads as atmospheric and quietly layered. Repeated circular accents near the ends add a subtle cadence.

Muted olive, forest green, charcoal, and brown tones sit comfortably within the slate-gray background, creating a versatile palette that complements natural wood, plaster, and stone interiors. As a vintage floral and geometric rug, it offers texture, restraint, and a nuanced decorative presence without overwhelming surrounding furnishings, making it an easy fit for serene, curated spaces.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
