Vintage Samarkand Geometric Light Beige – Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB8918 9'2" × 11'4" $32,000

This vintage hand-knotted wool Samarkand rug from East Turkestan reflects the poised geometry of the broader Khotan weaving tradition. Its layout is orderly and restrained, yet the composition remains lively enough to serve as a focal point in a refined interior.

The light beige field is organized into a regular trellis of stepped compartments, each accented by small cross forms, tiny floral details, and arrow-like motifs in muted rose, soft lavender, pale blue, and dark brown. The result is a calm, architectural repeat that feels balanced rather than busy, with a quiet rhythm that rewards closer viewing.

A strong border hierarchy frames the design with clarity: a dark brown Greek key inner band, then a wider outer border animated by scrolling, cloud-like forms and repeating decorative elements. The palette stays understated and versatile, making this vintage geometric rug especially effective in rooms that call for pattern, texture, and a composed sense of structure.

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.
