Chobi Samarkand Ivory

Chobi rugs represent a modern revival of ancient Central Asian weaving traditions, inspired by the historic Samarkand carpets that once traveled the Silk Road. These rugs are hand-knotted in Afghanistan and Pakistan by skilled weavers who have revived traditional Samarkand design motifs featuring geometric medallions and delicate floral rosettes. This beautiful hand-knotted Chobi Samarkand rug features an all-over repeating pattern of geometric floral rosettes and diamond medallions across a soft ivory field, creating a sophisticated monochromatic aesthetic. The delicate geometric florals in cream, beige, and pale gold create subtle tonal variation that adds depth without overwhelming the serene neutral palette. The Samarkand-inspired design showcases symmetrical placement of stylized flowers and geometric elements that echo the ancient Khotan carpets once treasured by Silk Road traders. The wide border features traditional geometric patterns and reciprocal motifs in complementary warm gold and beige tones, creating an elegant frame. The extensive vegetable dyeing and natural washing process has given this rug a beautifully aged appearance with soft, muted colors and lustrous abrash that mimics the patina of antique carpets.
