About the Item
Vintage Turkish Borlou rug
Size: 13'2" × 20'1" (401 × 612 cm)
This exquisite antique Turkish Borlou rug, dating from the 1920s, is a stunning example of minimalist botanical artistry. Measuring approximately 20 by 13 feet, this sizable piece is characterized by its soft beige field which provides a serene and neutral backdrop that emphasizes the delicate and sparse botanical motifs woven throughout.
The design exhibits a harmonious balance of negative space and stylized floral elements, with a restrained color palette dominated by gentle beiges and soft, muted blues and coral accents. The intricate, yet understated, pattern features finely detailed leaves, blossoms, and vine forms scattered with deliberate spaciousness, highlighting the minimalist approach typical of Borlou craftsmanship.
The border frames the rug with a more concentrated yet still delicate design, incorporating a series of floral and vine motifs that complement the central field without overwhelming it. The cool blue hues within the border create a subtle contrast against the warm beige field, enhancing the overall aesthetic without detracting from the rug’s soft and calming presence.
This Borlou rug’s construction is marked by a flat weave technique with a low pile, revealing the precise knotting and meticulous handcrafting involved. Its natural dyes have mellowed beautifully over the decades, adding to its antique charm and ensuring its status as both a decorative and collector’s piece.
With its elegant simplicity, graceful botanical forms, and finely balanced color scheme, this early 20th-century Turkish Borlou rug is a timeless and versatile addition to any interior, appealing to admirers of vintage textiles, minimalist design, and traditional Turkish weaving heritage alike.
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.
