About the Item

Antique Turkish Sivas handmade wool rug Size: 6'5" × 9'7" (195 × 292 cm) This impressive oversized Turkish rug originates from the Sivas region and dates back to the late 19th century, around the 1880s. With a generous size approximately 10 by 7 feet, this rare antique piece showcases the timeless artistry and craftsmanship of traditional Turkish weaving. The rug features a soft, muted palette dominated by delicate beige and cream tones, complemented by subtle hints of faded rose, warm brown, and gentle rust hues. This restrained coloration is characteristic of antique Sivas rugs, which often exhibit an aged patina lending a quiet elegance and vintage charm. The intricate design consists of a central medallion motif surrounded by a network of traditional floral and geometric patterns. These motifs are softly rendered with hand-knotted wool, creating a harmonious balance between symmetry and the organic variations inherent in handmade textiles. The border frames the composition with repeating stylized floral elements and abstract forms, emphasizing the rug's refined aesthetic. Notably, the rug’s surface shows signs of natural wear and fading, which enhance its character and attest to its history and authenticity. The soft wool pile offers a plush texture underfoot, while the finely woven foundation demonstrates exceptional technique, indicative of the Sivas weaving tradition. This antique Turkish Sivas 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 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.
