About the Item
Vintage Samarkand (Khotan) Wool Rug
Size: 4'4" × 8'4" (134 × 256 cm)
A beautifully timeworn gem from the weaving traditions of East Turkestan, this vintage Samarkand rug dating to circa 1935 embodies the cross-cultural artistry of the Silk Road. Crafted from lustrous wool, the rug features a sophisticated palette of muted apricot, warm coral, ivory, and rich espresso brown—all softened by decades of gentle wear, giving it an unmistakably elegant patina.
The central field is distinguished by a balanced medallion layout composed of circular rosettes, floral sprays, and Chinese fret motifs, framed with corner brackets in a style reminiscent of traditional Peking carpets. The floral elements radiate outward symmetrically, evoking harmony and longevity, both symbolically important in East Asian design.
The wide border showcases classic Samarkand elements: alternating roundels and stylized peonies intertwined with scrolling cloud bands and Chinese calligraphic characters, suggestive of prosperity and good fortune. Each element is rendered with restraint, allowing the softly faded background to breathe and giving the rug a spacious, airy quality.
Hand-knotted with a medium-height wool pile, this piece blends the tactile richness of Central Asian weaving with Eastern artistic influence. Its dimensions and composition make it ideal for a sitting room, study, or intimate gallery space seeking quiet sophistication and cultural depth.
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.
