About the Item
Vintage Samarkand Rug
Size: 6'9" × 13'9" (205 × 419 cm)
This exquisite vintage Samarkand rug, handwoven in East Turkestan circa 1945, showcases the region’s rich textile heritage with a harmonious blend of Chinese, Persian, and Central Asian motifs. Rendered in a rare and sophisticated palette of warm mauve, earthy brown, celadon blue, and soft ivory, the rug’s artistic design evokes a sense of balance and tradition.
The field is elegantly divided into three square panels, each housing a circular medallion with floral rosettes surrounding a geometric central motif—symbols commonly associated with spiritual and cultural protection. The spaces between the panels are filled with a charming variety of blossom and flowerhead designs, providing visual rhythm and texture. The rug’s meandering Greek key inner border gives a grounded architectural structure to the composition, while the outer border exhibits a stylized cloud band pattern reminiscent of Chinese auspicious symbolism.
Expertly hand-knotted in wool, this mid-20th-century Khotan carpet reflects the skilled craftsmanship of Eastern Turkestan’s legendary weaving centers. Its plush, dense pile and balanced geometric layout make it a timeless piece suitable for both classic and eclectic interiors.
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.
