Turkish Antique Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Silk Rug – Circa 1900 BB7617 9'8" × 14'4" $60,000

Antique Turkish silk rug, woven circa 1900, this hand-knotted piece reflects the refined floral weaving traditions of Anatolia in an Ottoman-inspired register. Its warm tan ground and formal layout give it the presence of a historic Turkish carpet without feeling heavy.

The field is densely worked with scrolling vines, palmettes, rosettes, and trellis-like arabesques arranged in a mirrored composition around a subtle central crest. Rather than one dominant medallion, the design unfolds across the surface in a measured rhythm, creating movement and balance. Cream, sage, brick red, and muted teal soften the intricacy while preserving definition.

A deep navy border frames the composition with bold floral cartouches and connected vine work, sharpening the warmth of the center and adding contrast. Woven in silk, the rug has a luminous, finely detailed surface that suits traditional, transitional, or layered collector interiors where pattern and quiet color are equally valued, from formal seating areas to elegant libraries.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
