About the Item
Antique Turkish Rug
Size: 6'4" × 9'8" (193 × 294 cm)
This rare and exquisite 1880s Antique Turkish Rug presents an exceptional example of Ottoman textile artistry. Its composition echoes the spiritual and architectural elegance of traditional saf (prayer rug) arrangements, comprising a carefully orchestrated layout of individual panel designs—each one resembling a niche or mihrab, as found in Islamic religious carpets.
Woven in a soft, harmonious palette of pastel earth tones and faded jewel shades, the rug evokes an ethereal serenity. Time-worn shades of ivory, blush, faded pistachio, and whispering blue interlace to form an understated chromatic symphony, ideal for refined and timeless interiors.
Each panel on this remarkable piece appears like a miniature carpet in itself—featuring a diversity of patterns including stylized floral urns, lattice medallions, architectural arches, and intricate foliage. One particularly striking panel portrays a pictorial landscape with a delicate tree scene, rendered with almost painterly finesse—likely symbolizing paradise or contemplative retreat.
The border, rendered in an elegant scrolling palmette and cartouche pattern, frames the central grid with grace. Subtle abrash and age-induced patina enhance the authenticity and soulful beauty of this textile artifact, speaking to its more than 140 years of storied history.
Meticulously hand-knotted using lustrous wool, this antique Turkish rug exhibits a high level of craftsmanship. The pile has been gently worn down over time, giving it a velvety handle and soft, organic texture. Despite its age, the rug maintains structural integrity, making it a rare collector’s item suitable for both decorative and functional use.
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.

Antique Turkish silk rug
Size: 6'0" × 9'0" (182 × 274 cm)
This antique circa-1920 Turkish silk rug features a large oval medallion in faded red and an intricate design of floral and geometric abstractions and arabesques in shades of red and inky blue against a field of ivory. The muted patina of the antique carpet is a staple of Sivas Rug design and contributes to its unique look. Shapes such as the boteh, the paisley shape that represents leaves or pinecones in traditional antique oriental rugs, can be seen throughout. Although Turkish rugs have a rich and varied history, the use of silk is a comparatively new development as silk piled carpets made in Turkey do not date before 1870. Starting with the early 20th century, silk pile carpets began to be knotted in Turkey using silver and gold threads with patterns based upon 16th century Imperial Safavid Iranian carpets...
