Midcentury Samarkand Handwoven Wool Rug in Beige and Brown Shades BB6973 4'7" × 8'3" $7,000

Samarkand is one of the oldest inhabited cities in Central Asia whose Sogdian name translates as “Stone Fort” or Rock Town”. The name gives the idea of the town’s harsh surroundings, composed of arid steppes, vast deserts and rugged mountain ranges. Yet, this unwelcoming place became home to some of the most incredible vintage rugs.

The vintage Samarkand rug before your eyes is an original example of its mother-town craft. The abstract botanical and geometric design is both recherché and elegant. Paired with the color palette of earthy tones, including shades of brown and beige with carmine undertones, it will become the centerpiece of any contemporary interior.

The vintage rug can boast of impeccable execution. It was masterfully hand-knotted of the finest wool in accordance with traditional weaving techniques. If properly maintained, it will serve its owners for generations without any signs of wear.
