Vintage Samarkand Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB6464 6'3" × 12'4" $10,000

This mid-20th-century vintage Samarkand rug, woven in East Turkestan circa 1948, brings the Khotan weaving tradition into a distinctly graphic, hand-knotted wool composition. Its long format and softly faded surface give the piece an easy, collected presence suited to both traditional and contemporary interiors today.

At the center, five large amphora-like vessels rise in a vertical procession across a warm tan field, their outlines traced in brown with softened inserts of dusty pink. The spacing is deliberately open, allowing each form to read almost as a symbol rather than a literal object, while small ancillary motifs and subtle abstractions add rhythm without crowding the composition.

A double border frames the rug with quiet precision, carrying a restrained mix of geometric emblems and tonal ornament that echoes the field without competing with it. Browns, taupe, camel, and faded rose have mellowed into a nuanced palette, making this vintage Samarkand rug especially appealing for rooms that value texture, heritage, and understated pattern.

Part of the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage piece reflects the gallery's unwavering dedication to quality, authenticity, and design heritage. Founded in 1965, Doris Leslie Blau remains one of the world's most trusted sources for exceptional rugs, from rare mid-century finds to contemporary masterworks.
