Hereke Carpets

About Us

The history of Hereke carpets, the oldest examples of which are found today in the Topkapi Palace Museum and a few other palaces, begins with the establishment in 1843 of the Imperial Carpet Factory at Hereke, regarded as one of the first modern factories in Ottoman industry, during the reign of Sultan Abdülmecid. This factory was set up to provide fabrics, draperies, carpets and other textiles for the homes of contemporary notables, primarily the palaces. Damaged by fire in 1878, it was reopened in 1882 and in 1891 began carpet production to meet the needs of the imperial palaces during the reign of Abdülhamid II. Its first products were developed under the leadership of master weavers brought from the regions of Manisa and Gördes.

Hereke Carpets

Hereke carpets, the oldest examples of which are found in palaces, are known for their fine texture and the knotting technique that makes it possible. As an adaptation and extension of the traditional Anatolian carpet, they raised this art to even greater heights through their patterns as well as their weaving technique.
