About the Item
1920s Antique Turkish Sivas Rug – A Rare Celebration of Artistry and Symbolism
Size: 8'2" × 12'8" (248 × 386 cm)
This exquisite 1920s Turkish Sivas rug is a remarkable example of Anatolian craftsmanship and visual storytelling. Handwoven in the famed weaving center of Sivas, this piece reflects the refined aesthetic and exceptional skill synonymous with early 20th-century Turkish rug-making.
Its soft, muted palette of sand, taupe, and sky blue is both calming and sophisticated, with the overall composition exuding a quiet elegance. The central field is decorated with a highly unusual and enchanting repeat pattern of paired stylized birds — likely peacocks — enclosed in decorative medallions. These mirrored pairs are not only visually engaging but also rich in symbolism, often representing themes of love, fidelity, and spiritual guardianship in Anatolian iconography.
Surrounding this avian motif is a beautifully executed border featuring delicate botanical and geometric elements. These provide both structure and contrast, while reinforcing the balance between nature and order — a hallmark of Turkish design tradition.
Woven in fine wool and tightly knotted, the rug has a lush, velvety texture and a luminous sheen that enhances its timeless beauty. Despite its age, it has retained both its strength and its grace, making it as functional as it is collectible.
This antique Sivas rug would make a stunning centerpiece in both traditional and contemporary settings, admired not only for its decorative value but also for its cultural depth and artistic merit.
This rug is part of the esteemed Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
