About the Item

Made with hand-knotted wool and originating from East Turkestan circa 1930-50, this 5x9 Samarkand rug is the next great addition to Rug & Kilim’s repertoire of Vintage Oriental creations. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will recognize this Samarkand among those of a particular Chinese influence to its design, especially in the notably charming pictorial in its field. It hosts vases and flowering prunus branches, flanked by precisely depicted cultural implements including a penjing (bonsai) container and various vessels. The border contains stylized floral motifs interspersed with distinct beige-cream tulip forms. All these qualities culminate to reflect the sensibility that makes such Samarkands of this style so sought-after today. Notable aspects further include the deliberate flattening of perspective and the use of compartmentalized color blocks to define individual objects. The design employs a palette dominated by vibrant red, with accents of gold, pale gold, and pink hues. Keen eyes for detail shall admire the cultural syncretism characteristic of Samarkand production, blending Islamic Central Asian weaving traditions with Chinese decorative motifs and iconography. Condition: This Vintage Samarkand rug further enjoys an overall good condition for its age and origin—an impressive find among antique rugs of a celebrated weaving tradition.
