Antique Turkish Floral Allover Soft Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet – Circa 1880 BB8496 6'5" × 9'7" $10,000

This antique Turkish Sivas carpet, hand-knotted in wool circa 1880, reflects the refined weaving tradition of the Sivas region in Turkey. Woven in a formal botanical style, it presents an allover trellis field that feels quietly architectural and beautifully timeworn.

A soft beige ground sets the palette, lifted by whispering ivory, sand, and pale blush notes. Across the surface, softened floral medallion forms and scrolling botanical motifs repeat in a gentle lattice, their outlines deliberately subdued by age and abrasion. The border remains understated, allowing the field to carry the composition with an easy, measured rhythm.

That faded clarity gives the carpet its appeal: decorative enough to register, yet restrained enough to support a room without dominating it. The antique patina softens the contrast and adds depth to the wool pile, making this Turkish rug especially effective in interiors that favor layered neutrals, classical furnishings, or a calm contemporary setting.

Sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, this antique rug represents the caliber of craftsmanship and cultural heritage the gallery has championed since its founding in 1965. With six decades of expertise, Doris Leslie Blau remains a premier destination for rare and extraordinary rugs across a wide range of styles and price points.
