About the Item
Antique Turkish Hereke Rug – A Masterful Floral Tapestry
Size: 11'9" × 21'9" (358 × 662 cm)
A magnificent example of Ottoman artistry, this antique Turkish Hereke rug, circa early 20th century, is a masterclass in elegance and craftsmanship. Woven in the renowned weaving center of Hereke—synonymous with refinement and quality—the carpet captures the lush romanticism and intricate detail that define the region’s most prized textile works.
At the heart of the design lies a lavish all-over pattern of blossoming florals set against a deep, inky blue field. Cream, rose, apricot, and soft ochre petals unfurl gracefully across the composition, evoking a sense of motion and natural rhythm. This immersive floral motif, rendered with painterly precision, is a testament to the technical finesse of Hereke weavers, who were often commissioned by Ottoman royalty.
Surrounding the verdant field is a wide and equally ornate border system, composed of multiple bands. The innermost and middle guard borders showcase meandering vine and blossom patterns, while the main border is more exuberant, featuring scrolling palmettes, leafy arabesques, and stylized floral rosettes in warm coral, ivory, and faded celadon hues. The outermost guard border, woven in a contrasting darker tone with taupe leafy accents, perfectly frames the composition, anchoring the overall palette with refined balance.
Executed in finely knotted wool, the rug reveals a silky, almost velvet-like sheen—a hallmark of Hereke textiles. The weave is compact and supple, allowing for the nuanced curvature and complexity of the floral designs to be expressed in high detail.
This Hereke piece measures an impressive scale, ideally suited for a grand room or gallery. Despite its age, it has retained remarkable vitality and depth in both color and condition, subtly softened by time in a way that enhances its antique charm.
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.
