About the Item

Mid-20th century Turkish Hereke handwoven wool rug This exquisite Turkish Hereke rug, dating from the 1940s, exemplifies the delicate artistry and refined aesthetic of traditional Anatolian weaving. The rug features a soft, muted palette dominated by cream and taupe hues, giving it an understated elegance and a timeless appeal. The field is adorned with a repeating pattern of stylized floral motifs arranged in neat, rhythmic rows. These small, detailed blossoms and leaves create a gentle, harmonious texture across the surface, showcasing skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail. Framing this serene field is a striking border characterized by a bold, angular ribbon design that scrolls continuously in a zigzag or wave-like pattern. This prominent border element contrasts beautifully with the more delicate field, adding a dynamic and modern architectural feel to the composition. Handwoven with a fine knotting technique typical of Hereke rugs, this piece embodies a blend of traditional motifs and innovative design, making it a sophisticated and rare example of mid-20th century Turkish rug artistry. Overall, this 1940s Turkish Hereke rug embodies the enduring legacy of Hereke weaving excellence, combining refined design, masterful craftsmanship, and a graceful color palette to create a timeless work of textile art. 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.
