About the Item

Antique Turkish Hereke Rug Size: 10'8" × 16'2" (325 × 492 cm) This exceptional Antique Turkish Hereke rug, dating to the early 20th century, embodies the pinnacle of Ottoman textile artistry. Woven in the famed town of Hereke—renowned for producing luxurious carpets for the Ottoman court—this piece showcases the region’s signature refinement in both design and craftsmanship. At the heart of the rug lies a large medallion, subtly framed by an all-over lozenge lattice enclosing delicate floral rosettes, lending a sense of structure while preserving the softness of the composition. The spacious central field, surrounded by ghostly floral tracery and arabesques, radiates a romantic air through its mellowed tones of rose, sand, and faded ivory. A layered border system surrounds the field, with each guard stripe featuring understated botanical and geometric motifs that echo the interior’s delicate elegance. Despite its age, the rug’s texture and pattern retain an undeniable harmony, enhanced by its worn surface—adding soul and character rather than detracting from its grandeur. What distinguishes this Hereke carpet is its elegant restraint. The faded, almost watercolor-like palette gives it a dreamlike quality, making it highly versatile for contemporary interiors seeking old-world charm. Its massive size, over 13 by 20 feet, makes it ideal for spacious settings, such as formal living rooms, salons, or gallery-like spaces. This rug is not only a statement of historic luxury but also a testament to the enduring aesthetic value of Anatolian weaving traditions. It bridges imperial opulence with the serenity of timeworn beauty—making it a true heirloom collectible. 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.
