Vintage Samarkand Abstract Brown Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet BB6643 5'10" × 11'0" $17,000

This vintage Samarkand rug from East Turkestan is a hand-knotted wool carpet that reflects the layered weaving traditions of the region. Its dark brown field gives the composition a rich, grounded presence, while the vertically organized layout keeps the design balanced and quietly graphic.

At the center, two ivory oval medallions frame stylized floral trees worked in navy blue and coral, echoed by branching vines and small blossom-like nodes across the field. The symmetry is precise yet artisanal, lending the rug a folk-art character that feels collected rather than formal, with enough movement to animate a room.

A lively border in warm tan, brick red, camel, and touches of blue surrounds the interior with floral and geometric detail, sharpening the contrast between the deep ground and the lighter ornament. The result is a Samarkand rug with the texture, durability, and decorative depth prized in vintage rugs and refined eclectic interiors.

Part of the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug reflects the gallery's dedication to preserving exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive design traditions. Its character, patina, and artistry make it a sophisticated addition to thoughtfully curated interiors.
