About the Item

This magnificent 1880s Turkish Ghiordes rug displays the timeless artistry of Anatolian weaving with an opulent palette and intricate design. The rug's field shimmers in a rich pomegranate red, densely scattered with sage green and soft ivory vine motifs, creating a lively, almost three-dimensional texture. At its heart lies a large camel-beige medallion accented by dusty rose and blush pink scrollwork, which provides an elegant counterpoint to the vivid ground. Corners bloom with finely rendered buttercup yellow and mossy green floral bouquets, highlighted by subtle taupe outlines that lend depth to the pattern. Finishing the composition, a delicate border of warm tan and muted cocoa frames the exuberant interior, balancing warmth with sophistication. Hand-knotted in the late 19th century, this Ghiordes rug embodies the region's reputation for durability and luxurious color, offering both historical charm and enduring decorative appeal. A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. 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.
