Samarkand Vintage Geometric Teal Hand-Knotted Wool Rug (Size Adjusted) BB5221 14'0" × 18'0" $85,000

This early-20th-century vintage Samarkand rug from East Turkestan is hand-knotted in wool and reflects the region’s distinctive Central Asian weaving tradition. Rather than relying on a central medallion, its composition is built around an allover geometric trellis, creating a balanced field that feels ordered, decorative, and quietly architectural.

A deep teal-blue ground provides the backdrop for rust, copper, and brown linear motifs, which interlock into a compact repeat across the surface. The drawing is finely articulated, with subtle handmade variation that softens the geometry and gives the rug a lived-in, textile character. Its rhythm is steady, but never static, allowing the pattern to carry the design without overwhelming the room.

A restrained rust-toned border frames the field with small floral and angular accents that echo the interior lattice. The result is a vintage geometric rug with depth, movement, and a grounded palette, well suited to interiors that benefit from pattern, structure, and the layered character associated with Samarkand rugs.
