About the Item

Antique 1880s Turkish Hereke Rug with Floral and Botanical Motifs in Soft Beige, Coral, and Crimson Size: 4'6" × 7'4" (137 × 223 cm) An exquisite example of 19th-century Turkish textile artistry, this antique Hereke rug—woven circa 1880—captures the refined elegance and delicate precision for which the Hereke tradition is renowned. Known for their exceptional craftsmanship and regal aesthetic, Hereke rugs were originally produced for the Ottoman court and often embody the highest quality of weaving available in the region. This particular piece is distinguished by a luminous palette of muted beige, soft gold, pale peach, and mossy sage, punctuated with saturated crimson accents that lend depth and contrast to the otherwise ethereal composition. The central field displays a symmetrical botanical layout featuring stylized palmettes, floral rosettes, and vine-scrolls, all artfully arranged in a mirrored pattern that draws the eye vertically through the design. The border is equally captivating, framed with a rich crimson band hosting angular floral and leafy elements that create a rhythmic interplay with the more fluid central motifs. A narrower secondary border of scrolling vines enhances the refined geometry of the piece. Rendered in a soft wool pile, the rug shows evidence of natural age patina, adding historical character without compromising visual harmony. The fine weave and careful articulation of each floral detail reflect the Hereke workshop's renowned precision and mastery. With its restrained color scheme and gracefully stylized ornamentation, this antique Turkish Hereke rug serves as a sophisticated anchor for any interior—traditional or contemporary—bringing with it the richness of Ottoman history and the timeless beauty of hand-woven design. This antique rug, sourced from Doris Leslie Blau, showcases a rare blend of history and craftsmanship. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
