Hand-woven during the second quarter of the 20th century along the legendary Silk Road in East Turkestan (Khotan / Yarkand), this authentic antique Samarkand rug captures the delicate intersection of Central Asian heritage and Arts and Crafts design sensibility. Masterfully hand-knotted with an organic wool pile on a durable natural cotton foundation, it features a graceful botanical pattern rendered in a beautifully muted, washed-out color palette of soft pink, earth brown, and warm beige.
Prized by premier interior designers and textile collectors, this pre-owned vintage piece exhibits the authentic low-profile wear, minor imperfections, and historic alteration that define genuine antique character. Its subtle tonal softness and relaxed elegance make it an ideal choice for adding quiet warmth, historical texture, and understated luxury to living rooms, private studies, or layered high-end interiors.
