About the Item
Vintage Samarkand (Khotan) Rug
Size: 7'0" × 13'3" (213 × 403 cm)
Rooted in the weaving traditions of East Turkestan, this vintage Samarkand (Khotan) rug from the 1930s offers a sophisticated blend of Chinese, Persian, and Central Asian aesthetics. The design is marked by an elegant allover pattern of scattered rosettes and stylized blossoms—meticulously arranged to form a harmonious visual rhythm that draws the eye across the full breadth of the composition.
Rendered in a warm and understated palette of sandy beige, soft amber, and pale ivory, the rug’s field is framed by a rich series of geometric borders. These borders include a range of traditional motifs—from Kufic-style latticework to meandering Greek key patterns and floral fretwork—each contributing its own visual weight while supporting the overall balance of the piece.
Crafted by hand with high-quality wool, the pile is dense yet soft to the touch, and the gentle patina developed over time enhances the sense of history embedded within the textile. Its elongated proportions and delicately aged hues make this piece particularly well-suited to modern interiors that seek a nuanced, textural anchor without overwhelming the space.
This Samarkand rug not only embodies the elegance of 20th-century Central Asian craftsmanship but also serves as a timeless design artifact that bridges cultures and centuries with grace.
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.
