About the Item
Vintage Samarkand (Khotan) Rug
Size: 6'2" × 12'1" (187 × 368 cm).
A richly woven piece from the historical weaving centers of East Turkestan, this 1948 vintage Samarkand rug is a testament to the region’s unique aesthetic—one that gracefully merges Chinese, Persian, and Central Asian influences. Woven entirely of high-quality wool, this piece exudes both durability and refined craftsmanship.
The field showcases a mesmerizing allover design of pomegranate motifs, a symbol of prosperity and fertility, rendered in a gentle palette of warm browns, muted corals, and soft golds. The symmetrical arrangement of these stylized fruit-laden branches creates a rhythmic and organic sense of movement across the surface, while the high and low pile variations introduce subtle depth and tactile richness.
Surrounding the central field is a series of sophisticated borders: a primary border featuring abstracted floral and vine motifs, flanked by secondary guard borders with cloud bands, diamonds, and angular fretwork—motifs drawn from traditional Chinese iconography. This layered framing gives the rug an architectural quality, grounding the intricate interior with strong graphic structure.
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.
