A vintage Turkish Sivas rug. Not all Sivas rugs are in the Tabriz manner. Here is a powder blue ground prayer style rug very much in the Turkish manner. The field and even more closely the border are derived from Ladik rugs from west--central Anatolia. The central ‘tree of life’ and tiny carnation niche edging place it squarely in the Turkish traditional mainstream while the light tonality makes it decorative.
