Hereke / 11080

A luminous Hereke wool rug on a soft cream ground, composed around a refined central medallion and delicate scrolling floral arabesques. Scalloped corner spandrels and a layered border system contain small palmettes and floral sprays, all rendered in a muted, tactile palette. The surface shows medium, even wear that has softened the pile and mellowed contrasts, lending a quiet, heritage-rich character. This antique rug reads as an exercise in restraint and craft, its gentle tones and worn texture speaking to long use and careful making. Circa 1900 - 1915. Dimensions: 11' 2" x 15' 2".
