RUG INFORMATION:
One of the most unusual Hereke rugs with a unique feature that makes it a certified anomaly!!
Of all of our Turkish Hereke rugs, this is a first for us and I honestly do not know if it was done on purpose or not...try to see it before you continue...
This Hereke rug is one of several pieces that we were able to obtain from a collector who had gone out of way to collect unusual rugs and this piece certainly meets that criteria. It is a genuine 9/9 quality with about 500+ kpsi and a traditional Mehrab design. Based on the paperwork and workmanship, we estimate this rug to be woven around 1970. Like most Hereke rugs that were part of a collection by a knowledgeable owner, this piece is in excellent condition and everything my clients look for in older genuine Turkish Hereke rugs...
Now comes the mystery...
Did you notice that the signature is rotated and NOT aligned with the design and that the fringes are also on the wrong side of the rug?
If you look at the Hereke gallery, you will notice several pieces that typically feature multiple Mehrab designs in a rug. We think that the original intention was for the rug to also feature several windows and for some reason the weaver or shopowner decided to stop after only one Mehrab window was added. You can see what I mean if you look at Hereke rug #159629 and you can see how there are 3 windows, which is typical. Definetely for those of you who are as freakish about handmade rugs as I am...cheers.
