Samarkand Vintage Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8916 6'3" × 11'4" $14,000

This vintage hand-knotted wool Samarkand rug from East Turkestan reflects the Khotan weaving tradition, where Silk Road influences shaped some of the most recognizable carpets from the region. Its warm tan ground and compact hand-knotting give the piece an understated, time-softened presence.

An allover field of small floral rosettes, latticework, and geometric connectors creates a measured rhythm across the surface, while boteh-like and hexagonal forms add depth without breaking the rug’s calm order. Dark brown outlines sharpen the design and keep the ornament legible against the muted ground.

A broad, architectural border system frames the composition with scrolling motifs, stepped guards, and crisp geometric accents, reinforcing the rug’s balanced, collected character. The palette of warm tan, light beige, sand beige, and brown allows it to anchor interiors with texture, heritage, and quiet visual interest.

This remarkable vintage rug comes from the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, renowned for its discerning eye for quality, artistry, and timeless design. Doris Leslie Blau presents an exceptional range of vintage, antique, and contemporary rugs suited to both classic and modern interiors.
