Woven by hand, the carpet features a striking all over lattice composition of square panels, each enclosing stylized rosette medallions. The structured grid is framed by a bold Greek key border, adding architectural strength and classical balance to the composition.

The color palette is warm and earthy, consisting of soft sand, muted brick red, charcoal brown, faded gold, and subtle touches of ivory. The abrash and natural dye variation throughout the field enhance its depth and character. The wool pile shows age appropriate wear consistent with its 19th century origin, adding authenticity and charm. A refined and collectible example of antique Samarkand weaving, ideal for both traditional and transitional interiors. See less
