About the Item
Vintage Wool Samarkand (Khotan) Rug
Size: 6'0" × 9'0" (182 × 274 cm)
This exquisite early 20th-century wool rug hails from Samarkand (modern-day Khotan region in East Turkestan), a renowned crossroads of artistic and cultural exchange along the Silk Road. Dated to the 1920s, the piece is a fine example of East Turkestan weaving traditions that gracefully merge Chinese, Persian, and Central Asian motifs.
At the heart of the rug lies a softly faded, rounded cartouche medallion, surrounded by an elegant lattice of stylized floral motifs, likely roses—a popular symbol in Samarkand designs. The intricate pattern radiates outward in subtle shades of blush pink, pale ivory, beige, and charcoal, creating a refined, almost painterly balance. A prominent wide border, rich in dark chocolate tones, is adorned with large floral medallions and geometric lattice elements, lending contrast and visual depth to the composition.
Woven entirely by hand from high-quality wool, the rug retains a luxurious sheen and tactile softness, testifying to its superior craftsmanship. Its gentle pastel palette, now softened further with age, makes it an ideal accent for both classic and contemporary interiors.
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.
