About the Item
Vintage Samarkand (Khotan) Rug
Size: 3'4" × 6'8" (101 × 203 cm)
This exquisite vintage Samarkand rug from the 1950s epitomizes the rich textile tradition of East Turkestan. Handwoven from wool, the piece is a stunning example of Khotan craftsmanship, blending Central Asian design motifs with subtle Art Deco sensibilities.
The rug's composition features a soft, time-mellowed lavender field, gracefully adorned with symmetric medallions, floral blossoms, and angular geometric motifs. At its heart lies a prominent central medallion in warm brick and ivory tones, flanked by pairs of stylized rosettes and fretwork-inspired forms—symbols deeply rooted in Buddhist and Chinese iconography. The surrounding field displays a harmony of circular latticework and angular spandrels, rendered in muted hues of saffron, taupe, lilac, and charcoal.
The broad border is framed by a floral meander of branching vines and blossoms, outlined in cinnamon and walnut tones over a warm beige ground. Inside, a stepped fret motif encloses the central space, echoing classical Chinese patterns with a contemporary ease.
Its meticulous knotting and earthy, vegetal dyes characteristic of mid-century Samarkand rugs. The wool pile is low and evenly worn, lending the rug a gentle patina and tactile softness achieved only through decades of graceful aging.
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.
