About the Item
Early 20th Century Antique Turkish rug.
Size: 6'8" × 10'7" (203 × 322 cm)
Rich in both visual texture and cultural heritage, this antique Turkish rug exemplifies the artistry of Anatolian craftsmanship from the early 20th century. Woven with precision and care, the rug displays a vibrant yet balanced palette grounded in terracotta and soft rust tones, accented by jewel-like crimson, ivory, pale blue, and small flourishes of olive green.
The field is a dense lattice of stylized floral motifs, each rendered as six-petaled rosettes with striking symmetry and geometric flourishes reminiscent of classical Kilim influences. These blossoms—ranging in shades from deep red to peach—are organized in a tessellated arrangement of interlocking diamond forms. The layout achieves a captivating rhythmic effect, drawing the eye across the rug in a seamless visual flow.
What elevates this piece further is the crisp clarity of its detailing. Despite the intricate all-over design, each element maintains a sense of order and space, giving the pattern a mosaic-like cohesion. Subtle irregularities and the occasional asymmetrical petal or leaf reflect the handwoven nature of the piece, adding character and authenticity.
The border provides a vibrant frame with tribal geometric motifs, including a prominent S-hook and angular meander pattern in alternating bands of red, ivory, and sage. These motifs not only offer contrast to the florals but also root the rug firmly in Turkish village-weaving traditions, likely from the Konya or Bergama regions.
Hand-knotted using fine wool on a wool foundation, the rug features a low pile and superb weave density, enhancing both its durability and the crispness of its design. Though originally utilitarian in purpose, its remarkable color harmony and intricate composition make it a statement-worthy work of textile art.
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.
