Vintage Landscape Samarkand Handmade Wool Rug in Brown, Beige & Orange BB6051 5'5" × 8'7" $8,000
$8,000
This circa-1940 vintage Samarkand rug features a unique landscape design of pine forests silhoutted against a backdrop of mountain ranges, stylized and rendered in brown, beige and orange. A lake, or possible forest clearing, is created through abstract stripes in the same color scheme.
The vintage carpets from Kashgar, Yarkand and Khotan in the Chinese occupied Autonomous Region of Sikiang are collectively known as Samarkands – lands of arid steppes, deserts and mountain ranges traversed for thousands of years by caravans of merchants and traders from China to Western Europe along the Silk Route.
Rugs from this region are typically rendered in a glossy wool, occasionally embellished with richly brocaded silk and metal-thread. Unlike Persian rugs with their reds and blues, Samarkand antique carpets have soft colors with startling additions: magenta with acid green, peachy beige with brown, saffron yellow with lacquer red, bone with brown or slate blue.
