About the Item
Vintage Samarkand Rug
Size: 6'8" × 13'1" (203 × 398 cm)
This exquisite 1952 Vintage Samarkand rug embodies the elegance and cultural confluence for which Khotan weavings are celebrated. Hailing from East Turkestan—a historic meeting point of Persian, Chinese, and Central Asian influences—this piece is a remarkable example of mid-century craftsmanship harmonizing with centuries-old design traditions.
Rendered in an earthy, muted palette of beige, taupe, and faded rose, the rug features a central medallion surrounded by ethereal floral and symbolic motifs, delicately echoed in the corners and borders. The border is adorned with stylized pomegranate blossoms, representing prosperity and abundance, while the inner field subtly blends Chinese fretwork, geometric abstraction, and classic Eastern floral iconography. Despite the rug’s understated tones, there are glimpses of faded coral and soft lilac, hinting at its original vibrancy and lending it an authentically lived-in character.
Crafted in wool with a visibly tight, low pile, this rug offers a soft yet firm texture—an ideal foundation for both refined and casual interiors. Its beautifully aged patina and slight abrasions only enhance its vintage charm, making it a coveted piece for collectors and design aficionados seeking authenticity and soul.
Perfect for anchoring a living room, hallway, or gallery-style space, this vintage Samarkand rug tells a story of cultural synthesis and timeless artistry. It is more than a decorative item—it’s a relic of the Silk Road’s enduring aesthetic legacy.
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.
