About the Item

Mid-20th century Samarkand brown, gold, orange, pink, purple, and red wool rug. Size: 6'5" × 11'7" (195 × 353 cm) Samarkand (meaning “Stone Fort”), one of the oldest inhabited cities in Central Asia, is home to unique rugs that for years have been sought-after by collectors and taste-makers around the world. This vintage Samarkand rug is a paragon of the oasis town’s craft. Its main field carries a round medallion surrounded by Trees of Life, florals, diamonds, vase motifs, and four corner spandrels. This rich and miscellaneous design is enclosed within a series of borders carrying swastikas – a symbol of divinity and spirituality in Indian religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism – and flowering climbers. This vintage Samarkand rug unfolds before us a warm and invigorating palette of red, pink, purple, orange, gold, brown and black. Expertly curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this rare rug is a testament to centuries of weaving artistry. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
