About the Item

Large modern Samarkand rug by Doris Leslie Blau Size: 17'2" × 25'6" (523 × 777 cm) Evoking the refined heritage of Central Asian artistry, this striking Modern Samarkand rug from Afghanistan is a masterclass in subtle elegance and contemporary design interpretation. Meticulously handwoven in wool, the piece reimagines classic Samarkand motifs through a fresh, minimalist lens. Set against a soft, stone-washed ivory-beige ground, the design unfolds in a rhythmic field of stylized pomegranates—ancient symbols of prosperity and abundance—executed in varying shades of powder blue. The symmetrical grid formation brings balance and calm to the composition, while the nuanced shading within each fruit form reveals the artisanal touch and masterful dye work. A beautifully layered border frames the field with intricate geometric fretwork and angular vine scrolls, subtly echoing traditional Central Asian aesthetics. Shades of pale aqua, cloud blue, and soft sage are skillfully blended to maintain harmony across the entire rug, lending a sense of spaciousness and lightness. Measuring an impressive 26 feet by 17 feet, this oversized rug offers a serene yet sophisticated presence—ideal for anchoring large spaces such as great rooms, galleries, or open-plan interiors. Its muted palette and quiet patterning make it a versatile foundation piece, equally at home in traditional, transitional, or modern environments. This rug exemplifies the intersection of history and modernity, where timeless motifs are distilled into refined, abstract form—an heirloom-quality textile that brings both subtle luxury and cultural resonance to any space. Showcasing a fusion of tradition and innovation, this modern rug, sourced by Doris Leslie Blau, redefines contemporary luxury. Doris Leslie Blau offers a wide range of prices, including this beautifully crafted modern rug that brings elegance and quality to interiors at an accessible value.
