Vintage Samarkand Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Pomegranate Design BB8703 5'1" × 10'1" $18,000

This vintage hand-knotted wool Khotan rug from East Turkestan belongs to the celebrated Samarkand and Khotan weaving tradition. Its softly worn surface and restrained palette give it the easy elegance of a collected antique, while the compartmented layout keeps the composition crisp and architectural.

A soft beige field is divided into horizontal panels, each holding pomegranate-like forms and stylized floral or blossom-tree motifs rendered in pale pink, ivory, light tan, and faded sand. The imagery is gently abstracted by age, so the design reads as both botanical and geometric, with a calm rhythm rather than strong contrast.

A narrow border of small floral and box motifs frames the center without interrupting its cadence, adding just enough detail to anchor the rug. Hand-knotted in wool, it has the warm, supple character designers value for layered interiors. The mellow colors and orderly pattern make it especially suited to rooms that call for quiet decoration and antique texture.

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.
