About the Item
Vintage Samarkand Rug
Size: 6'0" × 8'8" (182 × 264 cm)
This vintage Samarkand (Khotan) rug, handwoven in East Turkestan circa 1952, features a sophisticated allover pomegranate tree design—a symbol of abundance and fertility—rendered in soft, earthy shades of brown, camel, and beige. The geometric layout is accented with stylized floral elements and subtle shou (longevity) motifs, reflecting the cultural synthesis of Chinese and Central Asian aesthetics typical of Khotan weaving traditions.
The composition is framed by a series of angular borders incorporating fretwork, lattice, and diamond patterns that provide contrast and structure. Woven in wool with a low pile, the rug retains its gentle patina and refined texture, showcasing the fine craftsmanship of mid-20th-century East Turkestani artisans.
A timeless and versatile piece, this Samarkand rug brings understated elegance and historical depth to both traditional and modern 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.
