About the Item

Vintage Samarkand (Khotan) Rug Size: 9'0" × 17'4" (274 × 528 cm) This exquisite early 20th-century vintage Samarkand rug from East Turkestan represents a rare and refined convergence of artistic traditions along the Silk Road. Woven circa 1900, it reflects the distinctive Khotanese aesthetic that harmonizes Chinese, Persian, and Central Asian influences into a visually captivating and culturally layered design. The rug features a spacious beige field adorned with striking medallions—each enclosed within rich circular frames of cobalt and indigo blue, offset by soft camel and ivory tones. These medallions anchor the composition and are complemented by geometric motifs, stylized pomegranates, and cloud bands, all rendered with clarity and symmetry. A remarkable aspect of this piece is the layered and richly decorated border system. Concentric bands of intricate ornamentation—ranging from fretwork and floral scrolls to latticework rosettes—encircle the field with grace and structure. Classic Chinese motifs such as the “shou” symbol (longevity), ram’s horn hooks, and wave meanders signal a deep influence from Han decorative arts, while the angular corner spandrels lend the piece architectural stability. Hand-knotted in high-quality wool, this rug maintains a soft, dense pile with a lustrous patina developed over more than a century. Its subdued yet complex color scheme offers a soothing yet visually intriguing palette, ideal for both traditional and contemporary interiors. More than a decorative object, this Samarkand rug is a historical artifact—its design a cartography of cultural exchange, its craftsmanship a testament to a vanishing artisanal legacy. Whether placed in a great room, gallery, or refined living space, it will serve as a centerpiece of timeless elegance and narrative 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.
