Antique Turkish Allover Floral Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1920 BB9061 8'3" × 10'0" $28,000

This antique Turkish Hereke rug, woven circa 1920, reflects the refined Ottoman weaving tradition in a hand-knotted wool format. Its character is defined less by a central emblem than by an elegant allover field, allowing the design to read with quiet rhythm and decorative balance.

Closely spaced floral bands move across the surface, creating a subtle trellis-like pattern filled with small blossoms and leafy growth. The composition feels layered and textile-rich, with soft beige, taupe, and muted ivory motifs settling into a deep blue-green ground. The result is a surface that feels both formal and gently worn, with the softened clarity of an antique rug.

A foliate border frames the field in warm brown and pale tan, reinforcing the rug’s architectural structure while keeping the overall effect graceful. The painterly patina tempers the contrast and lends depth to the pattern, making this Turkish floral carpet especially suited to traditional rooms and transitional interiors that call for color, texture, and collected age.

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.
