Antique Persian Hereke Carpet, c. 1900

About the Item

Antique Persian Hereke Carpet, c. 1900 This oversized Hereke carpet from Turkey draws an intricate design of palmettes and cloud bands within a lattice against an indigo field. Turn-of-the-century Hereke pieces such as this often employ a series of designs derived from classical Persian carpets of the sixteenth century. This may at first seem peculiar, as these pieces were woven under imperial Ottoman patronage just outside of Istanbul. However, the increased awareness and appreciation throughout Europe of classical carpets from various regions of the Near East during the turn of the century was an international phenomenon, and the weavers at Hereke both followed and helped set the trend. Oversize Hereke carpets such as this were initially woven for the Ottoman court and for foreign dignitaries. As production met demand they became more available in the markets of Istanbul at the beginning of the 20th Century.

    Located in San Francisco, CA
    Antique Large Persian Serapi Carpet Rug, c. 1900 Serapi rugs and carpets were woven in the Heriz district of Northwest Persia starting in the Mid-19th century in response to a great increase in demand for rugs internationally. Prior to that, there were no rugs woven (in Persia) for export that exhibited this stylized drawing of plant and flower forms. The lower knot density and thicker pile became the standard for these rugs, which lent to a less formal aesthetic that remains popular today. The neutral ground color of the border is unusual and sets of the other colors in an interesting way. The use of natural dyes in the Heriz workshops prevailed well into the 20th century, setting them apart from city workshops, which began to embrace synthetic dyes as early as the turn of the century. What was once one of the least expensive...
