About the Item

Elegant 1930s Antique Turkish Sivas Rug Size: 13'0" × 14'1" (396 × 429 cm). This exquisite Antique Turkish Sivas rug, handwoven circa 1930, captures the refined artistry and compositional symmetry for which Anatolian craftsmanship is world-renowned. Measuring an impressive, this square-format rug makes a bold statement while retaining its air of classic elegance and restraint. The rug's soft beige field is lavishly adorned with a highly detailed botanical design, woven in a sophisticated palette of crimson red, sapphire blue, olive green, saffron gold, and ivory. Central to its composition is a symmetrical floral medallion pattern, flanked by elaborate palmettes and stylized vinery, creating a rhythmic interplay across the field. Encasing the lush field is a robust border system composed of three tiers: an outer green guard border, a main midnight blue border with large-scale red and ivory rosettes, and an inner saffron and floral buffer stripe. This framing not only anchors the central motifs but also enhances the visual richness without overwhelming the design. Characteristic of fine Sivas rugs, the piece is executed in soft wool, resulting in a delicate, velvety pile with a luminous finish. Despite its decorative intricacy, the rug retains a sense of openness, thanks to the subtle spacing between floral elements and the masterful use of negative space. Overall, this 1930s Turkish Sivas rug is a masterclass in Ottoman-era revivalist design, balancing opulence with poise. It would be a standout focal point in both traditional and transitional interiors, whether placed in a grand salon, formal dining room, or curated gallery setting. This rug is part of the esteemed Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.
