About the Item
1880s Antique Turkish Round Silk & Metal Thread Rug with Animal and Floral Motifs
Size: 4'8" × 5'0" (142 × 152 cm)
A rare jewel of 19th-century textile artistry, this antique Turkish round rug from the 1880s is a dazzling testament to the opulence and sophistication of Ottoman weaving traditions. Hand-knotted in silk and shimmering metal thread, the rug exudes an ethereal glow that shifts gently with light and angle, lending it a regal presence.
At the heart of this piece lies a resplendent floral medallion in rich crimson tones, radiating outward like an ornate sunburst. This intricate core is surrounded by a lush botanical field populated with stylized deer, leopards, and antelope rendered in warm saffron and chestnut tones. These figures are interspersed among a profusion of floral sprays and palmettes, weaving a narrative of nature, nobility, and harmony.
A broad, scrolling border with kufic-inspired script motifs and delicate lattice detailing encircles the central scene, serving as both a frame and a contrast to the exuberant imagery within. The unique scalloped edge and well-worn fringes emphasize the rug’s artisanal character and long, storied life.
This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. 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.
