Floral Samarkand Carpet, c. 1930

About the Item

This masterfully knotted early 20th century Samarkand carpet depicts a floral pattern at its center, framed by an ornate geometric border. Sometimes referred to as khotan carpets, Samarkand rugs are all from an area in central Asia once called East Turkestan, now known as Xinjiang province, China. Hand-woven with vegetable-dyed wool, this antique carpet has a balanced composition and a beautiful, soft palette of oranges, pinks, and browns. From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.
