Antique Turkish Allover Floral In Soft Beige, Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB7329 11'5" × 17'0" $70,000

This antique Turkish rug, woven circa 1920, presents a relaxed allover floral composition rooted in Anatolian carpet weaving. Its softly worn surface and generous scale give it the presence of an old-world floor covering with enduring decorative versatility.

Against a soft beige field, muted taupe, brown, and dusty rose motifs drift across the surface in a loose botanical rhythm. Overscale floral forms, palmette-like blossoms, and crest-shaped accents create a medallion effect without locking the design into a strict central format, while a faint, time-softened border quietly frames the composition. The low-contrast palette allows the pattern to emerge gradually, lending the rug a calm, atmospheric character.

That balance of formality and ease makes it especially suited to layered interiors, where it can temper sharper architecture or anchor upholstery in neutral tones. As an antique Turkish hand-knotted wool rug from the early 20th century, it offers the warmth, patina, and visual softness collectors value in an authentic vintage floor piece.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug embodies the rich heritage and refined craftsmanship that define the world's most exceptional carpets.
