About the Item
Vintage Samarkand (Khotan) Rug
Size: 8'10" × 17'4" (271 × 530 cm)
This exceptional vintage Samarkand (Khotan) rug from East Turkestan, dating back to the 1940s, showcases the harmonious aesthetic typical of Central Asian weaving traditions. Rendered in a tranquil palette of faded peach, dusty rose, and soft taupe, the rug features a spacious layout of classic Eastern motifs including blossoming trees of life, stylized florals, and rosettes. These symbolic elements are arranged in a symmetrical, vertical rhythm that enhances the visual flow of the field.
The piece is framed by a series of intricately detailed borders containing traditional geometric designs—such as stepped medallions, floral rosettes, and angular vines—woven in muted, complementary tones. The understated elegance of the composition reflects the cosmopolitan influences of the Silk Road, blending Chinese ornamentation with Persian-inspired botanical motifs.
Hand-knotted from high-quality wool, the rug maintains a low, even pile and displays a refined weave structure. The natural dyes have aged gracefully over time, giving the piece a soft, weathered appearance and a timeless character.
A rare and versatile example of mid-20th century East Turkestan weaving, this Samarkand rug would lend warmth and sophistication to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
This exquisite rug is part of the diversified Doris Leslie Blau selections, 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.
