Sivas / 10653

An elegant Sivas in a rare, muted pink palette, this wool rug presents a soft central medallion that reads like a fading textile memory. The 15' 6" x 16' 0" field carries delicate neutral floral arabesques and corner sprays paired with a broad border of repeating cartouches. Wear is honest and even; abrash and faded reds settle into the pile, producing a tactile, low-sheen surface. The composition balances restrained geometry with refined motifs, the quiet language of older Turkish weaving. This antique rug feels like an object of quiet craft and time-worn grace. Circa 1900 - 1920
