Large Oversized Decorative Antique Turkish Sivas Rug 2165

Beautiful and Large Oversized Decorative Antique Turkish Sivas Rug #2165 — Antique Sivas rug, Turkey, early twentieth century – An allover design of delicate trees sprouting palmettes and complex Boteh or paisley motifs repeats in delicate symmetry across the cool sand field of this elegant antique Turkish Sivas rug. The closely valued coloration of the field design with its minimal contrasts causes much of this complexity to recede from our immediate view, giving the antique Turkish carpet a more open restive quality. We tend to notice only the portions of the design rendered in soft blue and pale mauve. The border continues this scheme on a slightly smaller scale, unifying the overall effect of this magnificent antique Turkish Sivas rug.
