Samarkand Rug (size Adjusted) BB8851 9'2" × 11'8" $35,000

This exquisite vintage Samarkand rug, woven in East Turkestan, presents a warm, earthy palette of rich browns, soft olives, and muted pinks. Its field is a deep walnut brown, patterned with an all-over lattice of stylized floral and vine motifs in faded olive green and dusty rose—each motif framed by fine outlines in pale tan. A broad main border in mossy green carries alternating boteh (paisley) and rosette designs in pink and brown, while slender guard stripes in ivory and tan provide a crisp contrast. Subtle abrash throughout the field and borders gives the wool pile an authentic, time-worn patina, highlighting the hand-spun dyes and artisanal knotting. Measuring approximately 12 by 9 feet, this rug combines robust durability with a softly muted color story, making it ideal for grounding a rustic living room, adding vintage charm to a study, or layering under a contemporary dining table for an eclectic, globally inspired interior.
