Antique Turkish Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1900 BB0431 14'0" × 19'4" $75,000

This early-20th-century Turkish Sivas carpet, hand-knotted in wool circa 1900, reflects the refined weaving tradition for which the region is known. Its antique character is grounded in a formal yet softened composition that feels balanced, architectural, and quietly decorative.

The field is organized by an allover botanical lattice, where attenuated floral sprays, palmettes, and scrolling vines repeat with a measured rhythm. A subtle medallion-and-crest structure emerges through the worn drawing, giving the design depth without breaking the continuity of the surface. The broad border hierarchy reinforces the carpet’s classic layout and frames the interior with calm precision.

A muted taupe ground carries layers of soft beige, dusty rose, faded gold, and warm brown, creating a low-contrast palette that has mellowed beautifully with age. That gentle patina lends the rug an approachable warmth, allowing its floral detail to read as elegant texture rather than high drama. It is well suited to collected interiors that call for antique Turkish character and understated formality.

A treasured piece from the expansive Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug embodies the gallery's longstanding commitment to sourcing carpets of exceptional artistry and historical significance.
