Khotan Vintage Floral Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB7040 6'3" × 12'4" $18,000

This vintage hand-knotted wool Samarkand rug from East Turkestan reflects the Khotan weaving tradition, where Central Asian structure meets a softer floral vocabulary. Its elongated composition lends natural direction to a room without feeling heavy.

The warm taupe field is organized as a disciplined diagonal trellis, with tiny botanical repeats forming a dense allover lattice. A narrow central stem divides the composition and is punctuated by round red rosettes, creating measured symmetry that feels graphic rather than rigid. Brick red, rust, and muted gold lift the neutral ground and keep the surface lively.

Multiple borders reinforce the architecture of the design: a busy main border in brick red, gold, and taupe, followed by guard borders with compact floral and geometric details. The result is a vintage Samarkand rug with quiet movement and earthy elegance, well suited to interiors that favor layered texture and historic pattern. Its understated palette also makes it versatile with oak, walnut, plaster, and antique metal finishes.

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.
