Fine Signed Hereke Carpet North East Anatolia The raspberry field richly decorated with an allover design of cloud bands, palmettes and leafy vines within floral borders flanked by guard stripes, 376cm by 280cm See illustration The Ottoman Sultan Abdulmecit set up workshops for the production of weaving in the town of Hereke during the mid 19th century. The weavers, who were mainly Armenian, initially concentrated on the production of very fine quality silk rugs and it was only later during the last two decades of the 19th century that the royal workshops began producing fine large scale carpets knotted in wool. Early weavings were probably made exclusively for the Sultan`s personal use. The design of this example is like many, based on classical 17th century pieces. It dates from the 1890`s and is an excellent example of fine quality carpets made in the town. Such examples are now rare and collectable.
