About the Item
Antique Turkish Hereke handmade wool rug
Size: 4'10" × 6'9" (147 × 205 cm)
Exemplifying the height of Ottoman weaving artistry, this antique Hereke rug embodies the grace and refinement for which Turkish silk carpets are revered. Woven around the turn of the 20th century, the piece is a masterclass in intricate design and delicate coloration—qualities that distinguish Hereke rugs as among the finest in the world.
The field is structured around a grand medallion-like arrangement of scalloped, ogival forms and stylized floral motifs, softly echoing classical Persian influences yet interpreted through the unmistakable lens of Turkish elegance. Set against a shimmering, muted ivory-beige ground, the pastel palette of faded rose, dusty lavender, and tea-stained golds creates an ethereal effect that feels timeless and serene.
Each floral element—whether scrolling tendrils, rosette clusters, or palmettes—is finely outlined, giving the design clarity despite its delicacy. The rug’s patina speaks to both age and grace, with naturally faded colors that enhance its antique character. The border composition, with its intricate scrolling vinework and floral meander, frames the field with balanced proportion and classical harmony.
What sets this rug apart, beyond its graceful design, is its silk foundation and pile—materials that lend a luminous sheen and a tactile suppleness rarely matched in woolen weaves. The craftsmanship reflects the imperial standards of Hereke, a town historically associated with producing court-quality carpets for the Ottoman sultans.
Ideal for connoisseurs and collectors, this Hereke silk rug is not just a floor covering but a work of textile art—subtle in color, rich in history, and meticulously woven with regal finesse.
This exquisite 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.
