About the Item
Vintage Samarkand (Khotan) Rug
Size: 5'2" × 12'0" (157 × 365 cm)
This exceptional 19th-century Samarkand (Khotan) rug is a celebration of East Turkestan’s unique weaving legacy, gracefully uniting elements of Chinese and Central Asian artistic traditions. Hand-knotted in the mid-1800s, the rug features a richly detailed botanical field design rendered in a brilliant and striking palette of crimson red, sapphire blue, golden ochre, soft ivory, and forest green.
The all-over floral pattern is composed of stylized blossoms, rosettes, and leafy tendrils, laid out with rhythmic symmetry and remarkable precision. The lively, almost painterly use of color brings a vibrancy and life to the floral motifs, which flow harmoniously across the field like a blooming garden. A wide border of intricate rosettes framed by complementary floral garlands in cool blue tones provides contrast and structural balance to the dynamic central design.
Despite its age, the rug maintains its bold coloration and detailed execution, a testament to the superior quality of the natural dyes. The weave is dense and durable, yet supple — offering both elegance and functionality.
This antique Samarkand rug exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and cosmopolitan influences of the East-West Silk Road crossroads, making it not only a striking decorative piece but also a culturally rich textile artifact. Its generous proportions and radiant aesthetic make it an ideal centerpiece for sophisticated interiors.
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.
