Vintage Samarkand Floral Light Gray Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Pomegranate Design BB7008 5'3" × 8'10" $16,000

This vintage hand-knotted wool Samarkand rug from East Turkestan reflects the refined Khotan weaving tradition, combining decorative clarity with a distinctly architectural sense of order.

A soft light gray field carries a rhythmic allover composition of stylized pomegranate forms linked by fine branch-like lines, giving the rug a trellis-like structure rather than a central medallion. Warm beige and muted brown motifs rest gently against the cooler ground, while the smaller scattered accents add texture and depth across the surface.

The layered border reinforces that balance with repeating geometric and botanical bands, including darker brown notes that crisply frame the field. Measured and versatile, the palette and pattern lend this Samarkand rug an understated presence that works well in rooms where a vintage piece is meant to introduce movement, character, and a quiet sense of history.

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.
