Antique Turkish Allover Floral Light Beige Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB8697 11'9" × 14'3" $60,000

This antique Turkish Hereke rug, woven circa 1920, is a finely hand-knotted wool carpet from one of Anatolia’s most admired weaving centers. Its composed floral character and restrained finish reflect the refined Hereke tradition.

A light beige field carries an allover floral and foliate arrangement, with a subdued central medallion, mirrored blossoms, and scrolling vines dispersed across the surface. Dusty rose, pale pink, soft gray, and warm taupe soften the drawing, creating a faded watercolor effect that keeps the pattern airy rather than dense.

Layered borders lend structure and gently define the composition, each band repeating botanical ornament in low contrast. The result is a graceful antique area rug with enough decoration to enrich a room and enough restraint to sit comfortably in traditional, transitional, or collected interiors.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry. Renowned for its curated selection of the world's finest rugs, DLB offers pieces ranging from accessible vintage treasures to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces for discerning collectors and designers alike.
