About the Item

Made with a luxurious hand-knotted silk in Turkey circa 1920-1930, this 2x6 antique Hereke runner rug is an elegant and rare find of the celebrated provenance—a collectible curation among the most exciting new unveilings from Rug & Kilim’s collection. On the Design: Admirers of the craft will appreciate rugs from Hereke among the finest Turkish carpet traditions, particularly famed for their quality silk as well as for their intricate and sometimes unexpected designs like this pictorial. In this piece, rust and bronze orange tones underscore such a borderless all over pattern, which plays finely curved florals and figurals in cream, silver-gray and ice blue hues with a cool, almost Neoclassical old-world beauty. Keen eyes for detail may particularly admire a marriage of grotesque and hellenistic imagery, with a myriad of sprays, statuesque faces, and mythological animals bearing a strong resemblance to winged lions and griffins—symbols of aristocracy, prestige and authority. The silk’s natural sheen lends a fabulous, luxe play of the light that sits deliciously in these colors, and complements the sense of movement such a curvacious, finely detailed design already enjoys. It’s a precious jewel of any connoisseur’s collection, and its versatile small size offers vast design applications to the most special spaces welcoming its rustic charm and grandeur alike. Condition: This antique Hereke runner further enjoys an impressive condition for its age and origin. Buyers will note that it may have been intended as a table runner in its original use—equally well-suited in its size and sensibility to this application today, as well as to wall-hanging projects as a tapestry.
