About the Item
Antique Chinese Samarkand Rug
Size: 11'7" × 17'7" (353 × 535 cm)
This magnificent 1920s Chinese rug is a brilliant testament to the stylistic convergence of East Asian tradition and Central Asian influences characteristic of Samarkand textiles. Crafted during a flourishing era of decorative arts, this carpet commands attention with its precision, elegance, and commanding scale.
The field is adorned with an intricate botanical lattice design composed of symmetrical floral rosettes woven in crisp, alternating rows. These stylized blossoms, rendered in varying shades of sapphire, turquoise, ivory, and navy, float against a warm camel-toned background. The result is a sense of rhythm and movement, like a choreographed garden gently unfurling across the surface.
Each floral motif is connected by scrolling vine-like elements, creating a repeating pattern that’s both structured and organic—harmoniously blending geometric control with natural motifs. The visual harmony is underscored by the use of limited yet vivid color tones, which offer depth without overwhelming the eye.
Framing the composition is a classic fret border—also known as a meander or Greek key—executed in bold navy and teal. This timeless motif enhances the sense of order while grounding the piece within its Chinese design lineage.
Hand-knotted in soft, high-quality wool, the rug boasts a plush texture and enduring craftsmanship. Despite its century-old origin, the design remains remarkably modern, making it suitable for contemporary as well as traditional interiors.
Perfect for a formal dining room, gallery-like living space, or curated interior, this antique Chinese Samarkand rug is not just a floor covering—it’s a historical work of textile art, resonating with balance, elegance, and quiet sophistication.
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.
