Antique Turkish Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB7731 11'6" × 12'9" $60,000

This antique Turkish square rug, woven circa 1900, reflects a refined hand-knotted wool tradition with a distinctly decorative, garden-inspired character. Its warm tan ground gives the piece an inviting softness, while the layout remains disciplined and balanced throughout.

The field unfolds in a graceful allover repeat of geometric compartments and botanical motifs, creating a subtle trellis effect rather than a crowded surface. Small rosettes, stylized blossoms, and medallion-like forms alternate across the composition, each outlined in dark navy, rust, sage, and muted blue for a gentle but articulate contrast. The result is decorative without becoming busy, making the rug especially well suited to rooms that call for pattern with restraint.

A broad floral border frames the design with traditional order, reinforcing the rug’s symmetry and giving the interior a composed finish. Soft beige, golden yellow, and weathered tan tones lend the carpet a time-softened patina that feels elegant in both classic and more relaxed interiors.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
