Vintage Turkish Sivas Rug, 4’1″ x 6’6″

Description

This hand knotted wool vintage Turkish Sivas rug features an all-over diaper pattern spread across a dark backdrop. This vintage Sivas rug closely resembles the Seljuk rug designs of the 13th or 14th centuries. The Seljuks, a dynasty of Oghuz Turkoman origins, ruled much of the Middle East from the eleventh to the late 13th century. In 1905, a group of carpets and fragments were discovered in a forgotten corner of the Alaeddin mosque in Konya.
