About the Item
Vintage Samarkand Rug
Size: 4'7" × 9'7" (139 × 292 cm)
This elegant vintage Samarkand rug, handwoven in East Turkestan in the 1920s, exemplifies the region’s unique blend of cultural influences from China, Persia, and Central Asia. The design centers around a striking medallion with stylized scroll motifs, flanked by abstracted pomegranate trees and geometric lattice forms arranged symmetrically across a soft mauve field.
The composition is framed by a bold main border featuring large eight-pointed floral medallions in pale gold on a rich navy ground, symbolizing harmony and balance. An inner border of angular zigzag motifs in ochre, ivory, and light blue adds dynamic contrast and rhythm to the overall design.
Woven in a refined palette of deep blues, warm yellows, soft browns, and delicate creams, the rug retains its original clarity and vibrancy. Its plush wool pile and tight knotting speak to the high level of craftsmanship typical of early 20th-century Khotan weaving.
This vintage Samarkand rug is a beautiful expression of East Turkestan’s historic role as a crossroads of artistic exchange along the Silk Road. A decorative piece that offers timeless elegance and cultural depth.
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.
