Vintage Samarkand Geometric Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB6652 6'9" × 13'9" $30,000

Hand-knotted in East Turkestan circa 1945, this vintage Samarkand rug reflects the layered weaving traditions of the Silk Road, where Chinese, Persian, and Central Asian design languages meet. Woven in wool, it belongs to the sought-after family of geometric vintage rugs, bringing the character of a mid-century textile into a refined interior.

A warm taupe field organizes the composition into three stepped square panels, each centered by a circular medallion with a small geometric core. Blue framing lines and ivory accents sharpen the structure, while scattered rosettes and small floral emblems soften the geometry. The result is rhythmic and architectural, yet never rigid.

A Greek key inner border and a lively outer band of cloud-like and meandering motifs create depth and movement. This East Turkestan rug offers a versatile balance of tribal ornament and decorative restraint, making it a natural fit for rooms that call for pattern, warmth, and a grounded vintage presence.

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.
