Timeless Vintage Samarkand Geometric Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB6430 6'3" × 11'5" $9,000

This vintage Samarkand rug, hand-knotted in East Turkestan circa 1950, brings the region’s celebrated weaving tradition into a relaxed geometric format. Woven in wool, it balances tribal structure with an easy, time-softened surface, making it especially appealing for interiors that favor character over formality.

A warm tan field sets the tone for a layered composition built around two large circular medallions, a smaller central panel, and crisp stepped corner devices. The surrounding borders add rhythm through trellis-like motifs, angular bands, and small rosette forms, while the generous open ground keeps the design light and readable. Rather than feeling dense, the pattern has an orderly, collected presence.

Subtle variations in brown, taupe, and light beige deepen the palette without disturbing its calm, earthy effect. That restrained coloration allows the rug to sit comfortably beneath contemporary furnishings, yet it still carries the visual nuance collectors expect from a vintage Samarkand carpet. It is a refined choice for adding structure, warmth, and heritage to a room.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty. DLB offers a diverse selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, accommodating collectors and designers across every style and budget.
