Antique Sivas Turkish Rug 40084

Antique Sivas, Turkey, circa 1900 – This elegant and stately antique Oriental rug – a Sivas piece made in Turkey some time around the turn of the twentieth century – is truly an achievement in rug-making. This stunning piece possesses many of the qualities most sought after by collectors of such rugs, and would make a proud addition to any home. A richly detailed but remarkably spacious arabesque medallion pattern graces the field of this magnificent antique Sivas. The sumptuous ornamentation of the medallion and corner pieces continues into the framing border, but the complexity of these elements is nicely offset by the openness of the composition, which allows the beauty of the soft apricot, ivory, and mauve coloration to predominate. All in all, this is a piece that is not to be missed. Its graceful design and impressive composition make it not only a highly desirable piece, but a genuine work of art.
