Vintage Samarkand Rug BB6338 6'4" × 12'7" $40,000

Samarkand rugs are known for their rich decor and inspirations drawn from the art of Oriental countries. This antique rug combines those two features perfectly in its exquisite pattern. The complex structure consists of mainly geometrical shapes, such as circles and lines, without a clear motif. A watchful eye can spot fine leafs, which suggest that the weaver was inspired by nature, with a surprisingly modern twist. The design’s frame is heavily decorated by various figures and details. Color palette of this antique rug is rather calm, consisting mainly of navy blue and brown, topped with a little bit of creamy beige. The carpet bears style and colorings similar to Tabriz rugs, enhanced with typically Samarkand features.
