About the Item

73148 Late 19th Century Antique Turkish Hereke Rug, 04'04 x 06'05. Steeped in the imperial legacy of Ottoman grandeur, this hand-knotted wool antique Turkish Hereke rug from the late 19th century is a testament to refined artistry and cultivated taste. Distressed through the passage of time and softened with an antique wash, its patina exudes the quiet dignity of a piece that has graced generations of discerning interiors. Every precious thread tells a story of Hereke’s renowned workshops, where rugs were woven for sultans and collectors alike, embodying a standard of excellence that remains unmatched. At its heart lies an ornate center medallion, a floral jewel of symmetry and grace, blossoming within the soft abrashed field. Surrounding this medallion, the design flows into corner spandrels shaped like vases, their floral sprays rising in elegant arcs—a poetic tribute to abundance, prosperity, and timeless beauty. The composition speaks to balance and grandeur, where every curve and motif contributes to an atmosphere of cultivated luxury. The extraordinary border completes this magnificent tableau with a series of elaborate floral meander guard bands. Each meandering vine, each stylized bloom, is rendered with delicate precision, enclosing the rug in an architectural frame that enhances its regal presence. The interplay of warm carmine reds, faded golds, and soft earth tones creates a palette that has mellowed into a work of living art, imbued with subtle sophistication and an aura of antiquity. More than a decorative furnishing, this Hereke rug is an heirloom of distinction. Its presence elevates any setting—whether displayed in a collector’s gallery, anchoring a refined salon, or lending gravitas to a curated study. To own this exquisite work of art is to possess not only a masterpiece of Ottoman craftsmanship but also an enduring emblem of status and cultural refinement. This is exclusivity woven in wool: a treasure of history, artistry, and timeless prestige. Abrash. Hand-knotted wool. Made in Turkey. Measures: 04'04 x 06'05. Date: 1880's. Late 19th Century.
