About the Item

Vintage Samarkand Rug Doris Leslie Blau Size: 5'8" × 12'0" (172 × 365 cm) A rare and elegant piece from Doris Leslie Blau. The vintage Samarkand rug from East Turkestan dates back to 1930. Samarkand, historically a significant city along the Silk Road, served as a melting pot of various cultures, including Chinese, Persian, and Turkish influences. The rug showcases an all-over pattern of pomegranates, symbolizing fertility and abundance in Oriental rug traditions. The series of borders is strongly outlined, providing a clear frame for the central field. Within these borders, botanical patterns are gently rendered, complementing the central pomegranate motifs. The color palette incorporates shades of green, pink, brick and brown, creating a harmonious and versatile aesthetic. This vintage Samarkand rug exemplifies the exceptional craftsmanship of East Turkestan weavers, making it a valuable addition to any collection or interior space. This rug is part of the esteemed Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
