About the Item
Antique Turkish Sivas Rug
Size: 13'9" × 20'4" (419 × 619 cm)
This remarkable antique Sivas rug, handwoven around 1900 in central Turkey, exemplifies the high artistry and refined elegance associated with the region’s weaving tradition. Sivas carpets are renowned for their superb craftsmanship, balanced compositions, and sophisticated color palettes—and this oversized example fully embodies these qualities.
The field of the rug is adorned with a harmonious allover pattern of stylized palmettes, floral sprays, rosettes, and delicate vines. Woven in a soft burnt sienna ground, the motifs in deep indigo and muted beige offer a rich yet subdued contrast, contributing to the carpet's regal, aged patina. The overall composition exudes a classical serenity, free from the rigid formality of medallion-centered designs, allowing the floral motifs to flow naturally across the surface.
The rug's border is equally compelling: a bold navy ground supports a continuous pattern of palmettes and angular floral motifs framed by finely detailed guard borders. These elements subtly echo the larger floral structure of the field, reinforcing a sense of rhythmic balance and unity throughout the piece.
What sets this rug apart is its elegant restraint in color and textural depth—qualities that result from both age and the use of high-quality wool. The gentle wear and patina speak to the rug’s authenticity and historical provenance while adding a unique tactile character. These features make the piece highly desirable not only as a collectible but also as a versatile design element for today’s interiors, whether classical or modern.
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.
