About the Item
Antique Turkish Borlou Rug
Size: 19'0" × 27'8" (579 × 843 cm).
This exquisite antique Turkish Borlou rug, dating back to circa 1900, is a magnificent example of large-scale Anatolian weaving at its most refined. Woven in the town of Borlou—an esteemed rug-producing region of western Turkey—this palatial carpet showcases a graceful allover botanical design rendered in an unusually delicate and sophisticated color palette.
The spacious field, executed in a soft celadon green, is adorned with finely drawn scrolling vinery and stylized floral motifs in shades of dusty rose, coral, beige, and faded apricot. A subtle central medallion and mirrored corner spandrels add a classical architectural balance without disrupting the fluidity of the floral composition. The wide border, framed by narrow guard stripes, continues the theme with intricate rosettes and floral arabesques echoing the design of the field in complementary tones.
The understated elegance of this antique Turkish rug is further elevated by its distinctive palette—gently faded with age to produce a mellow, almost watercolor effect. The combination of refined patterning and restrained color lends the piece a painterly quality, making it ideally suited for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Hand-knotted in fine wool, the rug reflects the high standard of craftsmanship associated with the Borlou weaving tradition. Its large scale, lyrical design, and harmonious palette make it a rare and important decorative carpet of enduring beauty and distinction.
This exquisite antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
