About the Item
Antique Turkish Hereke Medallion Rug
Size: 10'8" × 16'4" (325 × 497 cm)
This exceptional antique Turkish Hereke rug, woven circa 1900, is a testament to the regal craftsmanship and artistic heritage associated with the Ottoman court’s most prestigious weaving tradition. Originating from the historic town of Hereke—renowned for producing carpets for palaces and aristocracy—this piece epitomizes refinement, grandeur, and enduring beauty.
The rug presents an elaborate medallion-and-corner layout with an arresting central rosette framed by symmetrically extending floral scrolls, arabesques, and stylized palmettes. The expansive field is richly ornamented with serpentine vines, floral rosettes, and ornate tendrils, all set against a burnished terracotta and russet red ground that exudes warmth and elegance.
The palette is a lush combination of earthy cinnamon, faded rose, pale beige, soft taupe, dusty blues, and hints of ivory. These subtly aged tones enhance the rug's depth and vintage charm without overpowering its intricate detail. A layered border of scrolling acanthus leaves and stylized lotus motifs envelops the field, framed by delicate guard stripes that echo the inner floral forms with precise linearity.
Woven by master artisans, this Hereke rug showcases exceptional technical finesse. Known for their fine knot density and durable yet soft wool, Hereke rugs were designed to endure both time and use while preserving their artistic integrity. The craftsmanship is evident in the clarity of each motif and the fluid transitions between pattern segments, demonstrating the weavers’ mastery of proportion and visual rhythm.
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.
