About the Item
Antique Silk Turkish Rug
Size: 9'8" × 14'4" (294 × 436 cm).
A truly refined example of early 20th-century Turkish textile artistry, this antique silk rug captures the elegance and grandeur that define the finest examples of Ottoman-inspired weaving. Woven entirely from silk, it boasts a luminous sheen that enhances the delicate interplay of colors and complex patterns throughout the field and border.
The field of the rug features a classically-inspired Herati design rendered with breathtaking precision. Stylized palmettes, lotus blossoms, cloud bands, and delicate floral vines meander across the soft blush-rose background, punctuated by motifs of saz leaves and rosettes. The symmetrical composition centers around a subtle medallion that harmonizes effortlessly with the rest of the pattern, maintaining a seamless sense of movement and balance.
Encircling the field is a magnificent navy-blue border—richly adorned with large-scale floral motifs and scrolling vinery—that offers a stunning contrast to the warm pastel tones within the central field. Additional narrow guard borders in ivory and rust subtly echo the floral theme, framing the composition with understated grace.
The palette is a masterclass in restraint and sophistication: dusty rose, deep indigo, celadon, coral, soft ivory, and hints of pale green and blue blend with effortless harmony. These tones are enhanced by the natural luster of the silk, giving the entire piece an almost iridescent quality when viewed from different angles.
Woven circa 1900, this antique Turkish rug is a testament to the legacy of silk weaving in Anatolia. Its remarkable craftsmanship, elegant proportions, and timeless design make it ideal for a refined interior, whether placed in a formal living room, gallery-style setting, or traditional salon.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition.Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
