About the Item

This captivating piece was masterfully woven in Hereke, one of Turkey's most prestigious centers for carpet weaving, in the early 20th century. Crafted entirely from silk, this rug is not merely a decorative element; it is a tangible expression of art, history, and cultural heritage. The pictorial composition at the center of the rug is adorned with figurative scenes reflecting the aesthetics of the period. These scenes contain symbols of Ottoman palace culture, mythology, and everyday life. The patterns at the edges are surrounded by delicate motifs that demonstrate the pinnacle of craftsmanship, and the figures at the four corners enhance the rug's expressive power. The rich color palette of deep reds, lapis blues, golden yellows, and pure whites enhances both the rug's visual impact and its sense of luxury.
