About the Item

Period: Mid 20th century Origin: Hereke, Turkey Dimensions: 103 x 160 cm This exquisite silk Hereke rug, woven in the mid-20th century in the renowned Hereke workshops of Turkey, represents the pinnacle of Ottoman weaving artistry. The composition is centered around a mihrab (prayer niche) design, a classical feature of prayer rugs, gracefully framed by elegant floral borders. Interwoven among the floral motifs are subtle depictions of birds, representing peace and divine inspiration—motifs often included in Hereke masterpieces to bring a sense of life and harmony to the composition. The rug’s palette, dominated by soft gold, deep indigo, coral red, and ivory tones, enhances the luminous quality of the pure silk foundation, allowing the surface to shimmer beautifully under changing light. The borders feature intricate scrolling vines and rosettes, executed with remarkable precision and balance. Every knot of this rug exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship for which Hereke has been celebrated since the 19th century, combining technical perfection with refined artistic sensibility. This piece is not only a work of art but also a reflection of cultural and spiritual heritage, making it a highly desirable example of mid-20th-century Turkish silk weaving.
