Wool Samarkand Rug, China- Russia, Year 1950

From a design inspired by Russian and Chinese cultures, which is typical of the province of Samarkand located on the Silk Road, on the border of these two countries. In the past, caravanners who used this route bought these carpets woven by local artisans during the long winters and sold them in the market of Samarkand. Made in the tradition of pure wool from the sheep called HETIAN, this type of breeding is specific to the region of the same name. This carpet therefore represents an example of traditional craftsmanship from the Samarkand region, which is rich in history and culture. Measurements: Length: 342 cm Width: 243 cm
