About the Item
Vintage Samarkand Rug – Vibrant Pink Geometric Elegance, Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 6'1" × 12'10" (185 × 391 cm)
This captivating vintage Samarkand rug from the 1950s embodies the eclectic spirit and artistic synthesis characteristic of East Turkestan weaving. Handmade with wool, this striking carpet measures 13’1″ × 6’2″ and features a bold, visually rhythmic composition distinguished by its saturated pink palette and graphic precision.
The field displays a nested diamond medallion pattern, repeated with stunning regularity, forming a zigzag arrangement that radiates from the center outward. Each medallion is carefully rendered with stepped contours and angular floral motifs, surrounded by a dense lattice of stylized blossoms and symbolic emblems. The interplay of ivory, blush, rose, fuchsia, and warm brown creates a visual harmony that is both vibrant and balanced.
The borders add another layer of geometric richness, with wide bands showcasing rosettes, intricate meanders, and stylized tribal elements in contrasting tones. Accents of faded lavender, golden beige, and coral appear throughout, giving the rug a time-softened, painterly effect. Faint signs of age and wear add character and authenticity, enhancing its vintage appeal.
Samarkand rugs, renowned for their multicultural influences—from Chinese to Persian to Russian—often defy regional classification. This piece exemplifies that hybrid artistry, offering both decorative energy and historical nuance. It’s an ideal statement rug for collectors, designers, or anyone looking to infuse their space with warmth, pattern, and heritage.
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.

Mid Century Khotan Transitional Pink and Beige Wool Rug by Rug & Kilim
Located in Long Island City, NY
Originating from East Turkestan in (year), this mid century transitional Khotan rug from Rug & Kilim features a finely woven, uncommonly repetitious all over field design. Hand woven in high quality wool, a unique contrast is employed between the non-outlined pink field symbols and the richly outlined depictions throughout the borders, likely intended to highlight the important regional symbolism in the center. The field celebrates continuously drawn pomegranates on branches with seedlings (important Khotan symbols of fertility and bounty) against the beige and earthen brown border, strongly resembling a harvest field. The multiple borders also wrap continuously around the field, but feature an assortment of eastern symbols such as royal Chinese...
