About the Item

Midcentury Samarkand purple and brown hand knotted wool rug. Size: 3'4" × 6'8" (101 × 203 cm) Samarkand and Khotan rugs made in the oasis towns of East Turkestan are true flowers of this arid landscape and the vintage rug before your eyes emanates with beauty in full bloom. Its face carries a design of geometric and floral medallions, enclosed by an elegant border with a flowering climber. By combining Chinese and Middle-Eastern aesthetics, the design of this vintage carpet showcases the immense diversity of Samarkand craft. The color palette of this vintage Samarkand rug boldly flaunts purple, complemented by brown, carmine, beige and gray. Every color is muted for proper balance, due to which the composition will easily match a wide variety of modern interior arrangements, bringing in the recherché charm of Oriental artistry. 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.
