Made with hand-knotted wool in Turkey circa 1950-1960, this 5x3 vintage Hereke rug is from an exciting new curation from Rug & Kilim, enjoying large-scale arabesque medallions and floral patterns on a blue field with a borderless design.
On the Design:
Admirers of the craft will note this piece and those from its series are a rare departure from other Hereke rugs of more traditional structure, and some like this piece almost resemble fragments of larger rugs in their design. Sharply drawn arabesque medallions in bright orange tones repeat against a teal blue and green ground, with equally fine cream white vinery floral patterns in between—a fabulous look with natural dimensionality and movement alike. Admirers of the craft will note how the deliberate absence of borders allows the design to suggest continuation beyond the carpet's edges—an inventive mid-century interpretation of classical Turkish infinite pattern theory. The restrained tricolor palette perfectly captures the aesthetic bridge between Ottoman opulence and modernist restraint, too—a smart, yet regal work among the hallmarks of 1950s Turkish design evolution.
Condition:
This vintage Turkish Hereke rug further enjoys good condition for its age and origin, and is ready for the floor. less
