Fine Antique Sivas Accent Rug

About the Item

Anatolia, the western region of Turkey where Sivas carpets originate, has a long-standing rug-weaving tradition, dating at least as far back as the 13th Century. As the explorer Marco Polo once wrote, ‘Here they make the most beautiful silks and carpets, and in the most beautiful colours.’ These carpets, among the first to reach the European market in the Early Modern era, can be spotted in many of the paintings of the Old Masters, including those of Holbein, Vermeer, and Reubens. This 19th Century example features a muted colour palette, with scrolling floral and figural motifs in muted vegetable-dyed tones of soft burgundy and aubergine over an ivory ground, framed by a border of good proportions. Retained in good condition for everyday use - its colours have taken on a characterful age-related patina. A charming accent rug, to compliment a tasteful setting.

  • 19th Century Oushak Accent Rug
    Located in London, GB
    The weaving workshops of Western Anatolia, where Oushak carpets such as this piece were originally made, have a rich history, stretching back at least as far as the Early Modern era – as the 14th Century explorer Marco Polo once wrote, ‘here they make the most beautiful silks and carpets in the world, and with the most beautiful colours.’ During the 19th Century, these pieces were highly sought after in the West, inspiring many of the designs of European weavings of the period, and can be found in grand historic homes across the UK and Europe. This late-19th Century Oushak rug boasts a charming, warm colour palette, all in gracefully aged vegetable dyes, with saffron, salmon, and ivory tones over a light terracotta ground. The design employs scrolling floral and botteh motifs in the spandrels...
