A Silk Feshane Rug

Late 19th Century Ottoman Period Feshane Rug

High quality carpets were produced for the Ottoman court in both Hereke and Feshâne in the second half of the 19th century. In Defterdar near Eyüp in Istanbul a building constructed by Sultan Mahmut II for the making of Feze’s, the traditional Turkish men’s head gear, was converted to the production of fine carpets. Carpets for the Dolmabahçe Palace were produced in both Hereke and Feshâne. Few of the latter still exist and the present example displays an exquisite pastel toned Persian influenced design of flourishing arabesque, boteh, and assorted tree and floral sprays .
