Turkish Antique Floral Allover Warm Tan Hand-Knotted Wool Carpet BB5604 12'4" × 16'0" $80,000

This early 20th-century Turkish antique carpet is associated with the Sivas weaving tradition, where careful hand-knotting and balanced ornament produced rugs of lasting poise. Rather than centering on a single medallion, the composition unfolds in an allover arrangement that gives the piece a calm, architectural presence.

The warm tan field is drawn with a softened trellis rhythm, filled with botanical reserves, small rosettes, and geometric flourishes that repeat with measured consistency. Faded light blue and muted terracotta accents trace the design, while dark brown outlines lend definition without disturbing the rug’s mellow surface. The result is decorative yet restrained, with the pattern gently diffused by age and use.

A broad border frames the field with additional floral detail and subtle vinework, reinforcing the rug’s layered structure. Woven in wool, this antique Turkish carpet brings texture, history, and an easy sense of warmth to interiors, working especially well beneath formal furniture groupings or in rooms that call for pattern without heaviness.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
