About the Item
Vintage Samarkand (Khotan) Rug
Size: 5'3" × 8'10" (160 × 269 cm)
This elegant vintage Samarkand rug, handwoven in East Turkestan circa 1950, exemplifies the rich textile traditions of the Khotan region. Crafted entirely from high-quality wool, the rug reflects a harmonious blend of East and West, where Chinese decorative influences intertwine with Central Asian tribal motifs to create a unique visual language.
The rug features a mesmerizing all-over pomegranate design—an ancient symbol of abundance and fertility—artfully scattered across a soft, muted steel-blue field. The motif is executed in a palette of warm camel and beige tones, subtly contrasting against the background, giving the composition a sophisticated and almost architectural rhythm. The pomegranates appear stylized, linked by branch-like geometric structures that create a sense of flow and continuity throughout the field.
A layered border frames the composition with ornate detail. The inner border carries angular fretwork and abstract floral symbols, while the outermost band is distinguished by a bolder, more tribal pattern reminiscent of Chinese cloud motifs, rendered in darker browns for dramatic emphasis.
Woven with a tight knotting technique and a low, even pile, this Samarkand rug not only exudes mid-century elegance but also boasts durability. Its subdued, earthy color scheme and decorative geometry make it an ideal choice for interiors that favor quiet luxury, subtle global influence, and timeless design.
This exceptional piece is a testament to the enduring artistry of Khotan weavers and a true collector's item for enthusiasts of vintage Oriental rugs.
Expertly curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this rare rug is a testament to centuries of weaving artistry. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
