About the Item
Period: Mid 20th century
Origin: Hereke, Turkey
Dimensions: 62 x 95 cm
This exquisite silk Hereke rug, woven in the mid-20th century, is a remarkable example of the fine craftsmanship for which the renowned Hereke workshops are celebrated. Entirely woven from pure silk on silk foundation, it displays an extraordinary level of detail and precision in every knot.
The design features an elegant prayer niche composition enriched with intricate floral motifs, stylized palmettes, and arabesques that symbolize abundance and harmony. The deep sapphire blue field beautifully contrasts with the rich crimson borders, creating a sense of depth and sophistication.
Hereke rugs are known for their exceptionally high knot density and delicate weaving technique, often exceeding 1 million knots per square meter. This meticulous craftsmanship results in a velvety texture and a refined sheen that changes gracefully with the light.
A true masterpiece of Turkish weaving art, this rug not only reflects the opulence of mid-century Hereke production but also embodies the timeless aesthetic and cultural legacy of Ottoman-inspired design.
