About the Item
Vintage Samarkand (Khotan) Rug
Size: 4'2" x 5'9" (127 x 175 cm)
A beautiful expression of East Turkestan’s rich textile tradition, this vintage Samarkand rug from 1948 showcases a harmonious fusion of cultural motifs and refined aesthetics. Woven in the famed oasis town of Khotan, the rug exemplifies the blending of Chinese, Persian, and Central Asian influences that define the Samarkand style.
The field features a striking lozenge-shaped medallion rendered in a subtle palette of brown, ivory, peach, and faded lavender. Floral arrangements and geometric patterns are intricately composed, evoking the region’s rich heritage of symbolic and decorative artistry. The central panel is framed by a well-defined border, populated with classic East Turkestani motifs including stylized pomegranates, rams' horns, and abstracted florals.
The muted color palette—warm browns balanced with soft pastel tones—enhances the rug's aged charm, lending it both subtlety and character. Fine wool and tight knotting contribute to the piece’s tactile quality, while the high level of craftsmanship reflects the excellence of Khotanese weavers in the mid-20th century.
Ideal for a variety of interior styles, from traditional to eclectic and minimalist, this vintage Samarkand rug brings history, culture, and a sense of quiet sophistication into any space.
Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
