About the Item
Doris Leslie Blau Samarkand Rug
Size: 5'0" × 7'2" (152 × 218 cm)
Expertly curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this rare rug is a testament to centuries of weaving artistry. This antique Samarkand rug is a striking example of the distinctive weaving tradition from Central Asia. It features a soft, warm-toned background, likely aged gold or beige, which allows the intricate motifs to stand out. The most captivating elements are the two stylized leopards, symmetrically positioned with their bodies curving gracefully toward the center. Their spotted patterns and expressive paws suggest movement and energy, a motif often found in East Turkestan textiles. The rug incorporates a variety of symbolic elements, including floral and geometric details, small abstracted animals, and decorative cloud bands reminiscent of Chinese artistic influences. A central circular medallion, possibly representing the sun or a celestial motif, is surrounded by stylized motifs that could symbolize prosperity and protection. The border is framed with intricate repeating patterns in shades of deep blue, soft pink, and ivory, adding depth and structure to the design. The mix of Eastern and Western influences—characteristic of Samarkand carpets—makes this piece a timeless and culturally rich textile.
Offering both rare, high-end pieces and more accessible options, Doris Leslie Blau presents rugs in a wide spectrum of prices.
