Vintage Samarkand Floral Classic Taupe With Dusty Rose Hand-Knotted Wool Rug (Size Adjusted) BB8851 9'2" × 11'8" $38,000

This vintage Samarkand rug from East Turkestan is a hand-knotted wool piece in the classic Samarkand and Khotan weaving tradition. Its time-softened palette and balanced layout give it the quiet authority of a well-traveled antique-inspired carpet, while the allover structure keeps the design grounded and versatile.

A warm taupe field carries a faded geometric trellis softened by age and low contrast, with dusty rose accents appearing as small round blossoms and subtle medallion-like notes across the surface. The pattern feels rhythmic rather than busy, allowing the open ground to read as texture as much as decoration. There is a gentle sense of movement without losing the rug’s composed, architectural character.

A dark brown border frames the composition with repeating stylized motifs and narrow guard stripes, creating definition around the muted center. The combination of botanical and geometric ornament suits interiors that call for a vintage Samarkand rug with understated color, tactile wool, and a refined decorative presence beneath seating areas or in layered, design-forward rooms.
