About the Item

One-of-a-kind Samarkand botanic handmade wool rug Size: 5'9" × 12'8" (175 × 386 cm) Samarkand, one of the oldest inhabited cities in Central Asia translated as “Stone Fort”, is home to magnificent rugs that for years have been the apple of the eye of collectors and tastemakers around the world. This vintage Samarkand rug is a paragon of refined craftsmanship of the oasis town. Its main field is occupied by an extensive, intricate and meandering pomegranate pattern, which in the Oriental language of rugs stands for fertility and prosperity. This impressive and deeply significant design is enclosed within a series of geometric borders, in which some of the motifs also express the wish of luck. This vintage Samarkand rug unfolds before us a warm palette of colors, consisting of subtle shades of camel, caramel, sandy, beige and ivory. Elegant yet unobtrusive, the carpet will be perfect to adorn a wide array of interior arrangements, from Bohemian or farmhouse, through Classic, to modern and minimalistic. 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.
