Doris Leslie Blau Midcentury Samarkand Handwoven Wool Rug

About the Item

Midcentury Samarkand handwoven wool rug. Size: 4'7" × 8'3" (139 × 251 cm) Samarkand is one of the oldest inhabited cities in Central Asia whose Sogdian name translates as “Stone Fort” or Rock Town”. The name gives the idea of the town’s harsh surroundings, composed of arid steppes, vast deserts and rugged mountain ranges. Yet, this unwelcoming place became home to some of the most incredible vintage rugs. The vintage Samarkand rug before your eyes is an original example of its mother-town craft. The abstract botanical and geometric design is both recherché and elegant. Paired with the color palette of earthy tones, including shades of brown and beige with carmine undertones, it will become the centerpiece of any contemporary interior. The vintage rug can boast of impeccable execution. It was masterfully hand knotted of the finest wool in accordance with traditional weaving techniques. If properly maintained, it will serve its owners for generations without any signs of wear. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
