About the Item

73148 Late 19th Century Antique Turkish Hereke Rug, 04'04 x 06'05. This exquisite hand-knotted wool antique Turkish Hereke rug, dating from the late 19th century, stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the Ottoman period. Its distressed appearance adds a sense of laid-back luxury, lending character and depth to the design. The Turkish Hereke rug features a captivating central medallion, majestically composed of intricate floral motifs arranged in a radiating pattern. This cusped medallion, with its harmonious blend of warm hues and delicate details, draws the eye to the center of the rug, inviting admiration for its balanced composition and refinement. The field surrounding the central medallion is filled with a subtle array of florals and botanical elements, softly blending into the background with a graceful flow. The soft, earthy colors within the field allow the design to appear almost ethereal, as if the flowers are gently blooming from the surface, creating a dreamlike quality. The distressed nature adds an intimate patina to the entire Turkish rug, enriching its historical character and emphasizing the natural beauty of the fibers. The corner spandrels, symmetrically placed on all four corners of the Hereke rug, echo the design of the central medallion while providing a lush enclosure for the composition. These delicate corner motifs, featuring stylized floral and vine elements, subtly balance the overall design, ensuring this 1880's Turkish rug exudes both harmony and structure. The corner spandrels further reinforce the rug's timeless aesthetic, with their intricate detailing and poised panache. Encircling the entire piece is an ornamental lotus and rosette border, flanked by inner and outer botanical meander guard bands. These guard bands, with their repeating floral patterns, create a rhythmic flow that complements the central medallion and field. The border’s design, both intricate and delicate, enhances the rug's overall visual impact, providing a perfect frame that draws the eye inward toward the medallion. This antique Turkish Hereke rug, with its rich history, sophisticated design, and relaxed refinement, serves as a true masterpiece of Turkish weaving artistry, blending the beauty of the past with the elegance of the present.
