About the Item
Antique Turkish Hereke Hunting Rug
Size: 7'10" × 10'8" (238 × 325 cm)
A masterpiece of Ottoman textile art, this antique Turkish Hereke rug, woven circa 1900, showcases the extraordinary finesse and imaginative storytelling for which Hereke weavers were world-renowned. Rare among antique Turkish carpets, this piece features a "hunting scene" design — a visual narrative brought to life through a highly detailed and dynamic field.
The central ground is composed in a deep, muted plum-purple tone, against which riders on horseback, mythical beasts, deer, leopards, and birds are dynamically rendered in motion. These hunting figures are masterfully intertwined with lush floral vines, stylized leaves, and blossoms. The composition teems with life, capturing a sense of movement and layered storytelling that evokes the grandeur of imperial courtly pursuits.
The rug’s intricate polychrome palette includes shades of beige, rose pink, madder red, soft yellow, olive brown, and ivory, offering a harmonious and painterly balance. Its hand-knotted silk and wool construction reflects the refined Hereke technique, prized for its high knot density and crisp definition of design.
Framing the central scene is a broad border in soft ivory-beige, punctuated with delicate scrolling floral motifs, arabesques, and stylized palmettes in crimson, coral, pale gold, and plum tones. These motifs echo Ottoman classical design, offering a rich counterpoint to the vitality of the central panel.
The Hereke rug tradition was established in the 19th century under Sultan Abdülmecid I, producing court carpets of the finest quality. This piece exemplifies that legacy — not only as a decorative treasure but as a tapestry of Ottoman storytelling, artistry, and craftsmanship.
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.
