Samarkand Vintage Floral Classic Taupe With Pink Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Pomegranate Design BB7423 5'6" × 10'9" $13,000

This vintage Samarkand rug from East Turkestan is a hand-knotted wool carpet woven in the Khotan tradition, prized for its balanced layout and softly aged character.

Its warm taupe field is intentionally open, with a faint floral ground that appears as a whisper of pattern rather than a bold repeat. The composition is organized by a double border: the inner band carries small stylized blossoms, while the outer border is animated by dark brown scrolling foliate motifs that trace the perimeter with quiet precision. The result is decorative, but never crowded.

Soft pink and faded beige accents gently lighten the neutral base, adding warmth without disturbing the rug’s calm, architectural presence. With its relaxed geometric rhythm, low-contrast palette, and vintage patina, this Samarkand rug brings texture and definition to transitional, traditional, or contemporary interiors where a refined antique look is preferred.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965. Doris Leslie Blau is celebrated worldwide for sourcing extraordinary rugs ranging from accessible vintage finds to rare collector-quality masterpieces.
