Subtle Sophistication: Antique Turkish Sivas Rug
Size: 14'1" × 19'2" (429 × 584 cm)
Crafted in the early 20th century, this antique Turkish Sivas rug (circa 1920) is a compelling example of understated elegance and intricate craftsmanship. Woven in the famed weaving centers of Sivas in Central Anatolia, the rug reflects a classical Persian-inspired design language, translated through a distinctly Turkish lens.
The composition is defined by an allover floral and botanical pattern executed in a harmonious, low-contrast palette of earthy taupes, sandy beiges, and soft mocha browns. Rather than relying on vibrant colors or high contrast, the rug achieves its impact through texture, detail, and tone-on-tone refinement. The field presents stylized palmettes, lotus blossoms, scrolling vines, and rosettes — all articulated with a quiet precision that rewards close inspection.
A wide border frames the field with a similarly delicate floral arrangement, bringing balance and symmetry to the expansive composition. Despite its large size (measuring approximately 19' x 14'), the rug maintains a sense of visual lightness thanks to the subdued coloration and masterful spacing of motifs.
Hand-knotted in fine wool, the pile is sheared low, contributing to a smooth, almost velvet-like surface. The weave is tight and meticulous, indicative of the high-quality craftsmanship typical of early 20th-century Sivas rugs. Its tonal minimalism makes it exceptionally versatile — an ideal foundation for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
This antique Sivas carpet is more than a floor covering — it is a testament to the artistry and quiet grandeur of Anatolian weaving heritage, offering timeless sophistication through subtle design.
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.
