Antique Sivas Cream Rug BB5710 6'4" × 10'0" $22,000

This antique Turkish Sivas rug, woven in the early 20th century, reflects the refined Anatolian weaving tradition for which Sivas is known. Its formal medallion composition is organized with unusual poise, balancing an elegant central crest against a softly patterned field that feels airy rather than dense.

A cream ground, touched throughout with powder blue, supports scrolling botanical forms, delicate foliate sprays, and small floral rosettes. The drawing is restrained and finely worked, with brown and dusty rose accents outlining the medallion and repeating ornament. That low-contrast palette gives the design a worn-in softness while preserving its architectural clarity.

A disciplined border frames the composition with quiet authority, using repeating leaf and floral motifs to contain the more relaxed interior movement. The result is a Turkish antique rug with a formal presence and an adaptable color story, well suited to layered interiors, classical rooms, or contemporary spaces that benefit from pattern with a gentle hand.

A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau collection, this antique rug exemplifies superior artistry, historic character, and timeless sophistication. DLB is internationally recognized for offering exceptional antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs of remarkable quality and provenance.
