Antique Turkish Sivas Rug Doris Leslie Blau

About the Item

Antique Turkish Sivas Rug Size: 14'0" x 17'5" (427 x 531 cm) This exquisite antique Turkish rug hails from the historic weaving region of Sivas, known for producing finely crafted rugs that blend artistry with cultural heritage. Dating to the early 1900s, this piece exemplifies traditional Anatolian weaving techniques and motifs, showcasing a harmonious palette and intricate design. The rug features a classic all-over pattern dominated by stylized floral and medallion motifs. Central to the composition are delicate palmettes, rosettes, and tendrils, creating a balanced and rhythmic flow across the field. The motifs are interconnected with sinuous vine and leaf patterns, evoking a naturalistic yet structured aesthetic typical of Sivas rugs. The palette is distinguished by soft, muted earth tones with shades of beige, cream, light brown, and dusty rose. These faded hues reflect the rug’s age and the natural dyes traditionally used, imparting a warm and subtle elegance. The overall effect is understated yet rich, making it versatile for various interior settings. Handwoven with wool pile, the rug exhibits a fine, dense knotting characteristic of high-quality craftsmanship. The pile shows signs of gentle wear consistent with its age, contributing to its authentic antique charm without compromising structural integrity. The borders frame the central field with multiple guard stripes featuring alternating floral motifs and vine patterns. The main border repeats larger floral elements and geometric shapes that complement the central design, adding depth and framing the piece beautifully. Its timeless design and muted tones enable it to blend effortlessly with both traditional and contemporary décor. Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
