About the Item
Vintage Samarkand (Khotan) Rug
Size: 4'6" x 7'9" (137 x 236 cm).
Radiating a bold sense of elegance, this vintage Samarkand rug from the 1950s is a stunning example of East Turkestan artistry. Woven in the fabled oasis town of Khotan, this wool rug harmonizes Chinese, Persian, and Central Asian influences into a richly layered visual language.
At the heart of the composition lies a striking medallion framed by a delicate scalloped border in lavender and ivory, anchoring the vibrant field of crimson red. Surrounding the medallion are symmetrical arrangements of Buddhist symbols, rosettes, pomegranates, and stylized floral motifs—each rendered in tones of ochre, plum, indigo, and saffron—imbuing the piece with both auspicious meaning and timeless aesthetic appeal.
The rug’s meticulously hand-knotted wool pile showcases superb craftsmanship and subtle color gradations that speak to its artisanal heritage. A series of contrasting borders—ranging from geometric fretwork to floral vine scrolls—encase the composition and enhance its structural harmony.
This rug is ideal for adding historical depth and artistic distinction to any interior. Its vibrant palette and symbolic ornamentation make it not only a decorative centerpiece but also a cultural artifact reflecting the crossroads of trade and tradition in East Turkestan.
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.
