About the Item
Antique Turkish silk rug.
Size: 11'3" × 17'8" (342 × 538 cm).
A masterwork of early 20th-century textile artistry, this antique Turkish silk rug embodies the elegance and refinement of classical Ottoman design, interpreted with subtlety and grace. Handwoven circa 1920, the rug is composed entirely of luminous silk, imparting a gentle sheen and tactile softness that sets it apart.
The composition is defined by a grid of mihrab-inspired cartouches, each individually adorned with delicate botanical motifs—trees, stylized floral arrangements, and arabesque flourishes—executed in whisper-soft shades of pale sand, rose, ivory, and faded terracotta. The soft palette is nuanced, with gentle abrashed transitions lending the rug a serene, dreamlike ambiance.
A delicate star-and-hourglass motif acts as a connective framework between the compartments, creating rhythm without interrupting the visual flow. The surrounding border frames the interior with equally nuanced florals and subtle calligraphic symmetry, offering an exquisite sense of balance.
Despite its size, this piece retains an air of lightness thanks to its refined coloration and the finesse of its silk weave. It is both an artwork and a functional floor covering—ideal for sophisticated interiors seeking to convey a sense of timeless luxury and cultural depth.
This antique Turkish rug is in remarkable condition for its age, with gentle wear consistent with its vintage nature. A rare example of restrained opulence, it would suit both traditional and minimalist contemporary settings.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. 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.
