Khotan Vintage Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug BB9227 5'6" × 9'4" $9,000

This vintage Samarkand rug from East Turkestan is hand-knotted in wool, a refined example of the region’s weaving tradition and the quieter side of vintage carpet design.

Its light beige field is left remarkably open, so the composition reads as line and structure rather than dense ornament. An elongated central medallion, outlined in soft taupe, anchors the layout, while angular vine forms and stepped corner details create a measured, almost architectural symmetry. Small darker accents at the center and along the inner field provide just enough contrast to keep the pattern defined, giving the rug a calm, elegant presence.

That restrained palette and spare geometry make it especially versatile in contemporary interiors. It can soften clean-lined furnishings, lend warmth to minimalist spaces, or add a collected note to layered rooms. The result is a vintage East Turkestan rug with a hushed, sophisticated, and polished character.

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.
