Antique-Inspired Samarkand Light Gray And Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet “Frostbloom” N12880 10'9" × 14'4" $18,000

A frosted Samarkand lattice in light gray and icy blue gives this traditional wool carpet a hushed, atmospheric presence. The allover composition layers vertical stemmed motifs, trellis geometry, and floral details into a disciplined repeat that feels both architectural and softly timeworn. Its faded-on-faded palette allows the drawing to emerge without ever dominating the room.

The border system reinforces the classic frame: Greek-key notes, floral bands, and narrow guard stripes create structure around the quieter center. Woven in wool, the surface has a gentle, low-sheen hand that enhances the washed effect and keeps the pattern looking airy. Rather than high contrast, the design relies on subtle tonal shifts and softened edges.

Named Frostbloom for its pale, frost-kissed palette and intricate botanical lattice, this Samarkand rug brings order, texture, and restraint to contemporary interiors, especially beneath seating areas or in refined dining rooms. It offers the character of an antique-inspired floor covering with a cleaner, more versatile read for modern traditional spaces.

Exclusively curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this rug exemplifies the balance of innovation, artistry, and enduring quality that defines the gallery's approach to contemporary carpet design. The expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection includes pieces ranging from understated modern works to one-of-a-kind statement rugs.

This design is available as a bespoke rug in custom sizes and colors.
