Vintage Samarkand Geometric Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB7350 11'2" × 11'5" $43,000

This vintage hand-knotted wool rug from Palestine reflects the Bezalel tradition, bringing a square geometric format into a relaxed decorative register. Its softly worn surface and balanced composition give it the feel of a collected textile rather than a rigidly formal carpet.

The light beige field is organized as an allover lattice of octagonal compartments, each holding a compact starburst rosette. Brick red, olive green, muted teal, and warm taupe move across the design with a subdued rhythm, creating visual interest without overpowering the room. The repetition feels orderly yet hand-drawn, which adds warmth to the pattern.

A structured border of diamonds and small floral devices frames the composition with traditional clarity. Time-softened color and gentle patina temper the geometry, allowing the rug to work beautifully in interiors that favor texture, graphic order, and an understated vintage palette.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
