Modern & Contemporary Rugs

A modern rug does not require modern methods. Every rug on this page is knotted entirely by hand, the same craft that produces our classical masterpieces, applied to contemporary drawing: open fields, quiet geometry, abstract color work, designs that sit as comfortably under a glass table as a medallion sits under a carved one. The difference shows the moment you touch one. Hand-spun wool, natural dyes and months of hand work give these rugs a depth of texture and tone that no printed pattern approaches, and every piece is one-of-a-kind, photographed exactly as it will arrive.

The collection runs from nearly solid minimalist fields to painterly abstracts and the beloved Gabbeh tradition, tribal weaving so elemental it reads as contemporary art. These rugs flatter clean-lined furniture, calm busy architecture, and give a room made of right angles something soft and singular to stand on.

Many of our buyers furnish across both worlds, a contemporary piece in the living room, a classical one in the study, and the collections are built to be crossed: our Persian and traditional rugs hold the classical canon these designs descend from, and our complete rug collection puts every piece we own on one page for the browsers. If you are matching a rug to a specific interior, send our rug experts a photo on phone or chat at any hour, and with free shipping and free returns in all 50 states and Canada, even the boldest contemporary choice arrives entirely on approval.
