About the Item
Antique Turkish Silk Sivas Rug
Size: 8'6" × 11'5" (259 × 347 cm)
This exquisite Turkish silk rug, dating from the early 1900s, originates from the region of Sivas, renowned for its refined silk weaving tradition.
Handwoven entirely in fine silk, this rug exhibits a delicate sheen and an unparalleled softness underfoot. The luxurious silk fibers enhance the rug’s intricate designs with a subtle iridescence that catches the light beautifully, elevating the overall aesthetic. The tight knotting and skilled weaving techniques result in a finely detailed and durable textile.
The rug features a classic Sivas design vocabulary with an airy composition and a delicate pastel palette dominated by soft ivory, blush pinks, muted greens, and touches of garnet red. Floral and botanical motifs are arranged with a sense of lightness and elegance, including stylized blossoms, rosettes, and delicate vines that gracefully traverse the field. The central medallion is understated yet finely articulated, surrounded by geometric and curvilinear elements typical of Sivas design.
This antique Turkish rug would serve as a stunning focal point in a variety of interiors, blending effortlessly with both classical and contemporary décor. Its elegant simplicity, combined with its historical and cultural significance, makes it a treasured collector’s piece.
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.

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...
