Large Antique Turkish Ghiordes Rug 16 ft 2 in x 12 ft 2 in (4.93 m x 3.71 m):
Tribal Colorful Magnificent Antique Turkish Ghiordes Rug, Country Of Origin: Turkey, Circa 1890’s.
The reserve price is the starting price
Description
This gorgeous antique Turkish Ghiordes rug was created at the turn of the 20th century and has several unique characteristics that make it stand out for the collector or interior designer. It features neutral grays and brilliant, fiery reds that make it perfect for traditional or contemporary room decor.
One of the features that stands out about this rug is the type of knot that was used to create it. It was created using the Turkish Ghiordes knot, or symmetrical knot. Persian and Turkish rugs generally fall into two different construction types. Persian rugs typically use the Senneh rug knot, which is known as the asymmetrical knot.
Both knots appear the same on the front of the work, but it is on the back of the carpet where you can see the difference. The Senneh type of rug knot is thought to produce finer work than the Ghiordes knot, but the Ghiordes knot is considered to produce a stronger, sturdier and more durable area rug. The Ghiordes knot takes longer to tie than the Senneh knot, which means that it takes longer to produce a carpet of this size.
When you think of Persian carpets, you typically think of finer designs and smaller detail. This contrasts with Turkish carpets, such as the iconic and decorative antique Turkish Oushak rugs, that feature large, oversized designs and bolder color choices. Many of the older Turkish carpets were originally created to inhabit spaces like palaces and public buildings. They were meant to create a sense of grandeur and awe. As such, they have seen many footsteps cross their path. This adds to their character and the unique story that they have to tell.
This gorgeous Ghiordes rug, with its bold pattern and striking colors, will make an excellent addition to traditional decor. It could also make a statement in a contemporary room. Antique rugs as this magnificent tribal Ghiordes rug are a unique for so many varied reasons and this specific antique Turkish rug is one that will be treasured for many years to come.

Description

Bathed in the rosy hue of the natural rose madder plant extract that defines this rug as a truly organic work of art, small hearts, florettes and abstract geometric figures cavort in joyful abandon between the cobalt blue and graceful white motifs.
The central emblem of this rug’s design is a kind of “gul,” or flower-like four-sided figurine that recalls the four directions or “four corners” of the Earth. Master weavers are known to have used their own distinctive gul designs to differentiate their rugs from neighboring tribes and this emblem is a kind of signature that helps to define this Turkish rug as a unique and expertly designed piece.
The border of this beautiful large antique Turkish Oushak rug features an eternal chain design of undulating scarlet ribbon that stands out against its creamy background hue. The effect is echoed by surrounding bands of a deep blue and white scalloped design that frame the central motif. Abstract geometric figures prance around the outer edge of the rug and entice the eye to be drawn deeper into the rug’s central design, where the viewer is rewarded with a graceful array of classic motifs. While the predominant color of this rug is a scarlet hue, the deep blue medallions and white shield designs punctuate the field of this rug, achieving a pleasing and balanced design.

A Beautiful Camel Field Color Large Scale Design Antique Ziegler Sultanabad Persian Rug, Country Of Origin: Persia , Circa 1880’s.
The reserve price is the starting price
Description
This magnificent and decorative example was created by the legendary Ziegler rug weavers in Sultanabad! This elegant antique Persian Sultanabad rug has a graceful, subdued facade decorated with delicate shrubs and well defined vine scroll borders. Created during the last quarter of the 19th century, this exquisite antique carpet features a neutral ecru field decorated with carefully placed shrubs and branching floral sprays that are rendered in a stately triad of oxidized blue and brick red with soft ivory outlines.
Crenelated inner borders create a symbolic barrier that separates the delicate field from the boldly colored main borders. Multiple sets of guard-bands featuring reciprocating floral motifs and botehs linked by angular vine-scrolls surround both sides of the formal main borders, which depict large-scale qua trefoils and floral medallions linked by flourishing vine-scrolls. The impeccable main borders continue the elegant combination of oxidized blue, ecru and brick red featured throughout the field.
Through the entire piece we see applications of warmer tones on top of lighter, earthy ones. This beautiful antique Persian Sultanabad rug puts emphasis on structure and design and how those relate to subtle use of contrasting colors. Floral motifs abound throughout the breathtaking Persian rug, unifying both the interior fields and the exterior borders with elegantly flowing petals and leaves. Several smaller borders surround the largest one, creating an outlining effect that draws the viewer’s attention to the minuscule details within.
At the very heart of the antique Ziegler rug, a broad earthy field dominates the landscape, filled with symmetrical blossoms and connecting stems, resulting in a network of forms that results in a well-grounded appearance, combining the natural elements with geometric structuring.
Needless to say, this is one of the most captivating examples and one of the best antique Persian Ziegler Sultanabad rugs that one could hope to find!
