Samarkand Vintage Floral Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB7042 4'2" × 5'9" $8,000

This vintage Samarkand rug from East Turkestan is hand-knotted in wool and reflects the region’s layered Central Asian weaving tradition. Its compact, well-balanced format gives it the presence of a decorative accent piece, while the softened palette and worn finish lend it an easy, lived-in elegance.

At the center, a stepped brown medallion rises from a soft beige field, packed with small floral rosettes and crisp geometric infill. The surrounding motifs alternate between blush, dusty rose, pale blue, rust, and gray, creating a measured dialogue between floral ornament and tribal geometry. The composition feels orderly, but never rigid.

Layered borders frame the design with equal care, including a narrow inner outline and an outer band of repeating brown motifs that echo the rug’s overall rhythm. The result is a vintage rug with clear structure, subtle color, and a quietly expressive Samarkand-inspired character, suited to interiors that value texture and pattern without excess formality.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug represents the enduring beauty and craftsmanship that have defined the gallery since its establishment in 1965.
