About the Item
Antique Turkish Hereke Rug
Size: 4'7" × 4'10" (139 × 147 cm)
Epitomizing the opulence and refinement of late Ottoman textile artistry, this 1880s antique Turkish Hereke rug is a testament to the mastery of the weavers of Hereke—a town long celebrated for producing the most luxurious court carpets in the empire.
Rendered in a sophisticated blend of beige, warm browns, and golden neutrals, the rug is suffused with an ethereal luminosity that feels both grand and grounded. At its heart lie two majestic rosettes—circular medallions composed of petal-like motifs that subtly echo the geometry of Ottoman imperial symbolism. Surrounding these are lush botanical elements, floral scrolls, and stylized palmettes arranged in perfect symmetry, creating a rhythmic flow across the field.
The border, adorned with a delicate undulating vine pattern, is framed by soft coral accents that bring a subtle contrast to the rug’s warm earth tones. This gentle interplay of hues, combined with the fading patina of age, lends the rug a romantic, heirloom quality that is both evocative and serene.
Woven with a remarkably fine wool pile and likely containing silk highlights (a hallmark of Hereke rugs), this piece would have been intended for a palace or a wealthy patron. Its superb craftsmanship and refined aesthetic still resonate today, making it an exceptional addition to classical, transitional, or even minimalist interiors.
This rug is not only a decorative treasure but also a piece of Ottoman history—an object of both beauty and cultural significance that bridges the past and present with timeless grace.
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.
