A Brief History of Sivas Carpets
Originating in and around the city of Sivas, a key hub of the Ottoman Empire, Sivas rugs were produced at different quality levels to serve both local markets and international trade. While many fine examples were commissioned by wealthy patrons, others were woven for everyday use and widely exported to Europe by the 19th century. These stunning pieces were influenced by Persian court designs, yet offered a distinctly Turkish perspective and execution. Today, antique Turkish Sivas carpets for sale remain prized for their aristocratic refinement and decorative versatility.
