Vintage Samarkand Floral Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool Rug East Turkestan Pomegranate Design BB7045 3'8" × 7'7" $14,000

This vintage hand-knotted wool Samarkand rug from East Turkestan belongs to the storied Khotan-Samarkand weaving tradition, admired for its synthesis of Central Asian, Chinese, and Persian design influences.

Its softly faded dusty blue field is arranged with a geometric lattice of tiny diamond motifs and a strong vertical medallion axis, while round crest-like forms punctuate the composition at measured intervals. The effect is calm and structured, yet never rigid, giving the rug a relaxed decorative presence that suits both formal and lived-in interiors.

A botanical border frames the center with scrolling vines and pomegranate blossoms in blush pink, olive, taupe, and muted purple. The worn wool surface and pale sand undertones lend the piece a gentle patina, allowing it to bring pattern, color, and historical character to a room without overwhelming the setting. It pairs easily with collected furnishings and contemporary spaces alike.

This remarkable vintage rug comes from the curated collection at Doris Leslie Blau, renowned for its discerning eye for quality, artistry, and timeless design. Doris Leslie Blau presents an exceptional range of vintage, antique, and contemporary rugs suited to both classic and modern interiors.
