Vintage Samarkand Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Pomegranate Design BB9102 6'6" × 13'1" $30,000

This vintage Samarkand rug from East Turkestan is hand-knotted in wool and set in the long tradition of Central Asian carpet weaving. Its allover pomegranate design gives the piece a recognizable Samarkand identity while keeping the overall composition measured and elegant.

A light blue field is worked with a repeating trellis of stylized blossoms and pomegranate forms in soft ivory and warm beige, creating steady movement across the surface. The drawing is graphic yet relaxed, with the open background lending the pattern a breathable, tailored quality.

Around it, several narrow borders in warm tan and dusty brown frame the field with floral and geometric ornament, while the slightly faded palette of beige, sky blue, and camel softens the design beautifully. The result is a vintage floral rug with enough structure for traditional rooms and enough restraint for contemporary interiors. Layered borders keep the composition crisp, and the quiet patina adds depth without visual weight. It pairs well with tailored, collected interiors.

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.
