Vintage Samarkand Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB6489 5'9" × 12'8" $15,000

Hand-knotted in East Turkestan and dating to circa 1945, this vintage Samarkand rug reflects the refined Khotan weaving tradition shaped by Silk Road exchange. Woven in wool, it presents the quiet patina and balanced structure collectors value in antique and vintage rugs from this region.

The warm tan field is organized by an allover trellis of stylized botanical forms, with branching lines and small blossom-like motifs repeating in measured rhythm. Soft beige, taupe, and faded rose accents keep the drawing low-contrast and intimate, so the design reads as decorative rather than bold. The effect is calm, layered, and gently architectural.

A disciplined border system frames the composition with geometric bands, fretwork, and small floral details that reinforce the rug’s orderly character. That combination of floral vintage patterning and subtle geometry makes this Samarkand rug especially versatile for interiors seeking antique texture, softened color, and understated visual movement.

Sourced from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this vintage rug exemplifies the gallery's passion for preserving remarkable carpets of enduring beauty. DLB offers a diverse selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs, accommodating collectors and designers across every style and budget.
