About the Item
77156 Antique Turkish Sivas Rug, 11'10 x 14'07. The Whisper of Anatolia: An Antique Turkish Sivas Masterpiece of Subtle Grandeur. From the esteemed looms of Anatolia comes this hand-knotted wool antique Turkish Sivas rug, a study in refinement where restraint becomes the ultimate expression of luxury. Woven in the spirit of the Persian Malayer tradition yet unmistakably Turkish in temperament, this piece embodies that rare equilibrium between opulence and purity. Its surface unfolds like parchment aged by time—softly luminous, serenely composed—its quiet rhythm of abrash whispering the story of the weaver’s hand and the passage of centuries. In this rarefied balance of form and void, one senses both discipline and dream, a poetic stillness that invites contemplation.
At its heart lies a stair-step diamond medallion, a motif that radiates noble symmetry against a field so subtly patterned it feels like silk under the eyes. Around it, delicate spandrels trace the faint geometry of memory—each line measured, each signature detail intentional. This interplay of restraint and ornament gives this exclusive piece its enduring grace, where design becomes emotion distilled. The quiet dialogue between light and pattern evokes the aesthetic of early modernism long before its time—a minimalist sensibility rooted in ancestral craftsmanship.
The rug’s borders are a triumph of Persian-influenced artistry, adorned with the timeless Herati motif and a procession of rosettes meandering through slender guard bands. These decorative flourishes, rich yet refined, frame the central expanse with architectural clarity. Subtle variations in tone—woven from wool enriched by camel hair—lend the sumptuous surface an organic warmth that can only be achieved by the slow alchemy of hand-dyeing and age. The resulting texture feels alive with depth, like sunlight moving over stone.
This extraordinary Sivas masterpiece is more than a floor covering—it is a meditation on proportion, texture, and quiet prestige. To live with such an exquisite work of art is to invite the serenity of Anatolian artistry into a modern world that too often rushes past beauty. Reserved for collectors of rare discernment, it represents the confluence of empire and intimacy—a precious woven heirloom that speaks not of ostentation, but of cultivated taste and enduring legacy.
Rendered in variegated shades of beige, tan, red, navy blue, pink, sage and saffron with other accent colors.
