On the Design:

Samarkand rugs are known for their unmistakably ornate look and this piece is just another example of fine craftsmanship. Featuring architectural motifs that rugs of this provenance enjoy, this is a beautifully aged piece that carries an earthy beige field with olive undertones. A central, oval medallion, rendered in a vibrant red with concentric floral and geometric elements, anchors the composition. The interplay of geometric precision with the softer, more organic floral motifs speaks to a rich weaving tradition, potentially drawing from multiple cultural influences. Altogether it’s an Vintage piece as deeply personal in its subtext as it is in the details and beauties that distinguish it in our craft—both a masterpiece and a true collector’s rug, teeming with history and culture.

Condition:

This Vintage Samarkand rug thrives in great condition for its age and origin. See less
