About Samarkand Rugs

Although the name Samarkand is traditionally associated with Central Asian weaving, this rug reflects the Persian adaptation of that aesthetic, fusing elements from both East and West. Persian Samarkand rugs are known for their unusual combinations of color and pattern, often with softer palettes and allover designs. These rugs emerged as part of the global rug trade in the early 20th century, favored by Western collectors for their decorative appeal and rare size formats. They remain sought after today for their blend of artistic tradition and visual distinction.
