Vintage Hereke Silk Rug
4 × 6 ft · 122 × 170 cm · Golden Field, Floral Medallion
A hand-knotted silk-on-silk Hereke from around 1940/50, its softly patinated golden field drawn with blossoms and palmettes around a central floral medallion.
Provenance and Manufactory Heritage
Hand-knotted in Hereke, north-western Turkey around 1940/50, this is a silk-on-silk carpet in the Hereke tradition. Hereke is a town on the Gulf of İzmit, a short distance east of Istanbul, where the Imperial Manufactory was founded in 1843 under Sultan Abdülmecid to supply the Ottoman palaces. The town's silk weaving continued through the twentieth century.
This carpet is knotted in silk on a silk foundation, with the clear, drawing-led articulation typical of Hereke work.
Colour and Composition
The carpet rests on a soft golden field — the silk catches the light and shifts in tone as you move around it. At the centre sits a rounded floral medallion in terracotta and copper, with sage-green and soft-blue florets around an ivory heart and slender pendants above and below; terracotta corner spandrels answer it in the four corners.
Between them spreads a densely worked field of blossoms, palmettes and curling vines, framed by an ivory main border of scrolling flowers and salmon guard stripes. The palette combines gold, ivory and cream with terracotta-copper, sage green and soft blue and salmon accents, softened by a gentle patina and a natural abrash across the field.
Presence in the Room
At 122 × 170 cm (2.07 m², approx. 4 × 6 ft) this is a small, versatile silk format. Three settings in which it works well:
- Living room: as an accent in front of a sofa or armchair, where the silk pile shifts in the light through the day.
- Bedroom: beside the bed or at its foot.
- Study or hallway: a small piece for a desk corner or entrance that rewards a closer look.
