Luxurious Vintage Samarkand Floral Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB4437 2'7" × 4'10" $13,000

Woven in East Turkestan circa 1920, this vintage Samarkand (Khotan) rug reflects the region’s hand-knotted wool tradition with a softly timeworn patina and a refined, decorative character.

A sand beige field sets a quiet stage for a vertical arrangement of vase forms, branching floral sprays, and a round central medallion in muted plum. Corner brackets and scattered blossom motifs keep the composition balanced, while the generous negative space allows the geometric and botanical details to read with unusual clarity. The result is orderly, yet never rigid.

A rose-pink Greek key border frames the carpet with crisp geometry, answering the softer motifs within. Dusty pink, lavender, ivory, soft brown, and touches of peach lend the palette a gentle warmth, making this vintage Samarkand rug especially suited to an entry, hallway, or intimate seating area where subtle color and antique character are equally valued.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
