Doris Leslie Blau Vintage Turkish Borlou Hand Knotted Wool Rug

About the Item

Vintage Turkish Borlou blue and beige hand knotted wool rug Size: 13'2" × 20'1" (401 × 612 cm) This circa 1920 antique Turkish Borlou rug features an intricate centre medallion design in blue, containing the Herati pattern and various abstractions, against an abrashed beige field. A blue border with scrolling vines and pomegranate imagery completes the look of the antique carpet. The Turkish carpet is distinguished from other Oriental styles by particular characteristics of dyes and colors, designs and textures. Antique Anatolian rugs feature the Turkish, or symmetrical knot and are typically made of wool and cotton. Distinct types of carpets, including the Borlou, have been woven since the 13th century in workshops, Provincial weaving facilities, as well as in villages, tribal settlements or by nomads. It is believed that a tribe known as the Seljuks, nomads from Central Asia, were the skilled weavers responsible for these early masterpieces. 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.
