Antique Turkish Allover Floral Warm Tan With Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Circa 1940 BB8599 13'6" × 17'2" $45,500

This antique Turkish hand-knotted wool rug, circa 1940, reflects the refined Oushak and Hereke traditions of Anatolian weaving. Its warm tan field is covered with a tightly ordered botanical trellis, where tiny floral forms repeat in soft taupe and brown, creating a calm, textural surface rather than a bold focal image.

The allover layout lends the composition a measured, architectural rhythm. Each small blossom is outlined with delicate restraint, so the pattern reads as a woven haze of leaves and petals across the ground. Around it, a strong border of angular, zigzagging forms adds definition and contrast, giving the rug a clean frame and a quietly modern edge.

With its muted palette and disciplined drawing, this antique Turkish rug balances traditional ornament with an Arts and Crafts sensibility. Hand-knotted in wool, it brings warmth, structure, and visual calm to interiors that call for an antique floral rug with subtle pattern and enduring character.

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.
