Turkish Hereke-Konya-Sivas Rugs
Oversize Antique Turkish Sivas Rug 20'2 x 28'. Sivas, situated in central Anatolia, has long been recognized for its distinctive contribution to the weaving traditions of Turkey. The city’s workshops are particularly noted for producing rugs that exhibit refined interpretations of Persian designs, most notably those associated with Tabriz. Characterized by light tonal palettes and a high level of technical execution, these works are comparatively rare yet highly valued in textile studies. Their enduring appeal lies in both their decorative sophistication and their reliance on the finest available materials, which together underscore Sivas’s role as a cultural bridge between Anatolian and Persian artistic traditions.
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
