Samarkand Vintage Floral Cream Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet BB6651 7'9" × 16'5" $32,000

This vintage Samarkand (Khotan) carpet, woven circa 1945 in East Turkestan, reflects the woven traditions of the Silk Road in hand-knotted wool. Its long, tailored composition feels firmly rooted in Central Asian carpet making, yet the design remains light enough to suit contemporary interiors.

The field is organized as an allover botanical lattice, where faded floral forms and softened crest-like motifs dissolve into a muted beige ground. Dusty blue-green, light taupe, and brown accents create depth without sharp contrast, while the worn finish lends the pattern an elegant, time-softened blur. Multiple borders frame the composition with trelliswork, small floral devices, and scrolling details that keep the eye moving.

That layered border hierarchy gives the rug a composed, collected character, making it especially effective beneath formal seating or in transitional spaces that call for pattern without heaviness. Hand-knotted in wool, it offers the relaxed texture and durable craftsmanship associated with vintage Samarkand rugs, balancing heritage, restraint, and decorative ease across a range of interiors.
