About the Item

77475 Vintage Turkish Silk Hereke Rug, 08'06 x 10'02. In the rarefied world of silk carpets, few pieces attain the celestial refinement of this hand-knotted vintage Turkish Hereke rug — a resplendent testament to Ottoman artistry and aesthetic ambition. Woven entirely from silk with near-microscopic knotting precision, this heirloom-quality treasure channels the ethereal grace of both Art Nouveau’s fluid botanicals and the Rococo’s lavish ornamentation. At its heart, a luminous round medallion radiates outward in concentric mandala-like rings — a visual metaphor for infinity, inner harmony, and regal power. The exclusive field unfurls with botanical poetry: floral rosettes, hyacinths, scrolling vines, palmettes, and arabesque tendrils spiral across a silken landscape in symphonic balance. Florals bloom from each corner like sacred offerings, each petal and leaf captured in exquisite detail, echoing a time when imperial palaces were scented with jasmine and scholarship was gilded in gold. The chromatic dance of pale celadon, antique ivory, blushed rose, and clouded charcoal is not merely decorative — it’s a palette of serenity, woven to soothe the senses and elevate the spirit. Enclosed by a garden-like border of stylized cartouches and three flanking guard bands, this exquisite work of art whispers of ceremonial halls and sultanic grace. Yet its deeper meaning is symbolic — a celebration of creation, cyclical rebirth, and divine design. Owning a Hereke silk rug is not simply about prestige (though it is deservedly that); it’s about participating in a centuries-old lineage of cultural preservation and artistic enlightenment. These rugs were once woven under imperial patronage — and today, acquiring one is akin to claiming a piece of living history. This particular example is exceedingly rare — a harmonious fusion of technical mastery, historical gravitas, and poetic elegance. Sourced ethically and woven by master artisans, it embodies not only beauty but social good, preserving traditional livelihoods and ensuring generational skills are honored, not lost. For the elite collector or designer seeking a signature piece — one that balances opulence with spiritual stillness — this Turkish Hereke silk rug offers nothing short of a legacy in loom. Abrash. Hand-knotted silk. Made in Turkey. Measures: 08'06 x 10'02. Date: 1980's. Late 20th Century.
