About the Item
Antique Turkish Rug
Size: 6'4" × 9'8" (193 × 294 cm)
This rare and exquisite 1880s Antique Turkish Rug presents an exceptional example of Ottoman textile artistry. Its composition echoes the spiritual and architectural elegance of traditional saf (prayer rug) arrangements, comprising a carefully orchestrated layout of individual panel designs—each one resembling a niche or mihrab, as found in Islamic religious carpets.
Woven in a soft, harmonious palette of pastel earth tones and faded jewel shades, the rug evokes an ethereal serenity. Time-worn shades of ivory, blush, faded pistachio, and whispering blue interlace to form an understated chromatic symphony, ideal for refined and timeless interiors.
Each panel on this remarkable piece appears like a miniature carpet in itself—featuring a diversity of patterns including stylized floral urns, lattice medallions, architectural arches, and intricate foliage. One particularly striking panel portrays a pictorial landscape with a delicate tree scene, rendered with almost painterly finesse—likely symbolizing paradise or contemplative retreat.
The border, rendered in an elegant scrolling palmette and cartouche pattern, frames the central grid with grace. Subtle abrash and age-induced patina enhance the authenticity and soulful beauty of this textile artifact, speaking to its more than 140 years of storied history.
Meticulously hand-knotted using lustrous wool, this antique Turkish rug exhibits a high level of craftsmanship. The pile has been gently worn down over time, giving it a velvety handle and soft, organic texture. Despite its age, the rug maintains structural integrity, making it a rare collector’s item suitable for both decorative and functional use.
This rug is part of the esteemed Doris Leslie Blau collection, renowned for its curated selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs. Doris Leslie Blau offers a vast selection of antique, vintage, and contemporary rugs in a wide range of styles, materials, and price points, making fine textile art accessible to both collectors and designers alike.

Authentic Indian Botanic Handmade Wool Rug
Size: 13'8" × 16'1" (416 × 490 cm)
This early 20th century antique Indian rug features a subtle all-over trellis design of split-leaf tendrils in inky blue against a pale beige field. The overall effect makes for a soft, muted patina characteristic of oriental north Indian rugs. The production of antique Indian rugs and carpets dates from the Mughal period of the late 1520s. Beginning with the conquest of Northern India by Babur, weaving workshops developed around the imperial cities of Agra, Fathpur and Lahore. Akbar the Great and his successors sponsored and encouraged the weaving of splendid Indian versions of classic Persian floral, garden and hunting antique...
