Samarkand Vintage Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB7461 7'0" × 13'3" $27,000

This vintage Samarkand rug from East Turkestan, woven in the 1930s in the hand-knotted wool tradition, captures the refined character long associated with Khotan carpets. Its room-size format gives the piece an easy architectural presence, while the softly aged surface lends it a calm, collected look.

The warm tan field is set with an allover scatter of tiny rosettes and stylized floral disks, arranged in subtle horizontal rhythm rather than a formal medallion. That restrained botanical trellis creates gentle movement across the surface, keeping the composition open, airy, and quietly decorative.

A series of finely worked borders frames the design with added definition. Greek key, lattice, and small geometric cartouche motifs appear in dark brown, taupe, and light beige, giving the rug its layered Samarkand identity. The result is a vintage floral carpet that brings texture, balance, and understated pattern to transitional or classically furnished interiors.

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.
