About the Item

Antique Turkish Sivas Rug Size: 12'4" × 16'0" (375 × 487 cm) This exquisite antique Turkish Sivas rug from the early 20th century represents the height of refined Anatolian weaving, fusing Ottoman-era opulence with an understated, European-inspired aesthetic. Woven circa 1920 in the famed weaving center of Sivas, this majestic carpet showcases the elegance and technical mastery for which the region is celebrated. The design is structured around a harmonious all-over field, intricately filled with stylized palmettes, rosettes, vine scrolls, and angular floral motifs that radiate across the surface in a symmetric, lattice-like rhythm. The gentle abrashed golden-sand ground is elevated by accents in faded periwinkle, denim blue, and muted terracotta, giving the piece both warmth and subtle contrast. These faded tones speak to the rug's age, lending a rich sense of patina and history. The broad main border is richly adorned with rosettes and angular vinery, framed by multiple guard borders that echo classical Persian and Ottoman influences, yet interpreted in a uniquely Anatolian way. Each element is drawn with great care, resulting in a soft, lyrical composition that exudes sophistication without visual heaviness. Crafted with fine wool on a cotton foundation, the rug maintains a relatively low pile and tight weave—hallmarks of high-quality Sivas craftsmanship. Despite its grand scale, the muted palette and delicate detailing make this rug incredibly versatile, equally at home in a traditional drawing room or a contemporary minimalist interior. 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.
